       Ask HN: Primary Google calendar connected to strange account even
       after deleting
        
       Hi all, I'm at a complete loss here and hope that someone may have
       been in a similar situation and is able to help me out.  My primary
       google calendar is getting shared with another person (under "Share
       with specific people or groups"). When I remove this entry and
       refresh the site, it disappears. When I change their visibility to
       "event status only", a new @gmail.com email appears in the list,
       that apparently belongs to the other, unwanted email (at another
       provider). I just tried deleting the entire calendar, and it
       worked, my events are gone - however, a new primary calendar was
       created which, you guessed it, is again being shared with this
       account!  The account belongs to a family member that I certainly
       don't want to have access to all of my personal/work events!!
       EDIT: I exported all my events to a new calendar and renamed the
       primary calendar to "DO NOT ADD". However I can't even hide the
       calendar from hell as it doesn't seem to be possible to change your
       primary calendar.

       | "Family" calendar and you also happen to have a YouTube TV
       | account where they share access? YouTube TV automatically invites
       | all members of your "household" to your Google Calendar Family
       | calendar.
