I recently ran into an issue where my CalDAV provider went down for a couple of hours so many synced events were displayed as duplicates in my macOS Calendar app. The CalDAV account was configured via a Profile so removing it meant I also needed to re-configure my mail account.

Reset Calendar.app

Fortunately there's a way to reset all synced events without loosing any preferences.

1. Quit the Calendar app

2. In Finder: Go to Users ▸ You Profile ▸ Library ▸ Calendars

   • If you don't see the Library folder, press CMD ⌘ + Shift ⇧ + . (Dot)

3. Delete the following files:

   • Calendar.sqlitedb

   • Calendar.sqlitedb-shm

   • Calendar.sqlitedb-wal

Now, re-open the Calendar app, press CMD ⌘ + R and wait for the calendars & events to re-sync cleanly. This can take a couple of minutes based on the size of your remote calendars.

If you're missing any items in the sidebar, go to Settings ▸ Accounts and toggle "Enable the account".
