I received an e-mail with an.ics attachment and I opened it on my iPhone. I opened the attachment and added it to my calendar. Now I want to delete the event. How do I do that? More Details: When I open most entries in the Calendar app, they have an 'Edit' button in the upper-right, and then a 'Delete Event' button on the Edit screen. But not this Calendar entry. I'm guessing that I can sync to my Mac and delete it from there, but that's not a good option since.
Note: In order to activate Office for Mac, you will need a valid and licensed Office 365 account or a Microsoft Account that is associated with a one-time purchase. If you don't, you won't be able to create or edit files, only read them. Let me clarify As I noted, the root of the problem are bugs in Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, AND bugs in Apple iPhones and iPads, AND bugs in the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES).
I'm at work. I don't use my Mac very often.

Deleting an entry from the calendar shouldn't require a 5 minute process Update: Not only am I unable to edit anything about the event, but I can't even change the Alert time. There must be some way to edit events received via.ics. The only way that I can see is if you had your calendar set up as an exchange calendar. If you're using google calendar you can do it in the web view, but as far as a standard calendar goes, there's no way to remove the event because it's not yours. You can talk to the person that sent you the email and see if he/she can remove you from the attendees list in their calendar, but I can't think of a way for you to do this yourself. It's possible that this functionality will be added in iOS 5 but I can't find a mention of it. Thank you for describing the problem so well.
I believe this is a bug or at least a major annoyance. I have the exact same issue.
When receiving an.ics file via email and clicking on it on iphone, the event is added to my calendar, but cannot be edited in any way. I cannot add or change an alert, cannot change the time, cannot delete future events (for a recurring meeting). Completely read-only.
At a local level (on my phone), it should be possible to make changes to the event, and that is why I consider this to be a bug.
