Unable to delete calendar invites on my Calendar App after macOS Sequoia update

I'm using Mac Sequoia and since the update my calendar from my Office 365 account appears as "this event was imported - read-only", which means I can't actually decline or delete any calendar invites. I can decline them on other platforms or devices (i.e Teams, Apple Watch or my iPhone), but even if I delete or decline an invite there, when I go back to Calendar app on Mac, the evenrs are still there. As a result, my days are absolutely full of events and meetings I won't attend, which makes organization a bit hard.


I didn't find any solution to this and it only happened after Mac Sequoia (I also have an Intel-based Mac and this problem doesn't happen there). Any suggestions? I tried disabling and re-enabling the account, no success.

I have also experienced this problem. It happened to coincide with my upgrade to Sequoia...

This is such a silly problem to exist, but for me the 2 main posted solutions worked.


1) can disable and re-enable the calendar account after "fixing" any invites via outlook on the web or wherever else outside of calendar. this clears the old junk but as others have said, more invites to mailing lists & other weird addresses will cause new issues down the road.


2) using the "void" calendar works great. Any of the read only calendar events I move to that void calendar, then I can delete if I want, or just keep it hidden and remove alerts.


On another note I was an old Mac user that recently switched back, I used my iPhone as the main tool for years along with windows Microsoft outlook. I'm finding it very hard to keep things organized as far as consolidated calendar, mail, etc. I have office for Mac and Microsoft 365 but am trying hard to not use them - I should be able to use Mac calendar, mail, etc for everything all in one place. But this Microsoft & apple collab needs some help still, from both sides it seems.


Anyway, thanks to the posters who suggested these solutions.
