@Dustin: that worked perfectly! Thank you SOOO much! Though I should warn people that it deletes everything in your calender, but still, it definitely gets rid of those events that doesn’t have an edit/delete button!

I have entries I can’t delete or edit and I put them in myself. I sync my iPhone 4s with a MacBook Pro. I was, at one point, able to open ical on my Pro and delete but one of my items don’t even show up there! Any suggestions?

@ Dallas,
the event may have been added from your Contact List, (ie, a Birthday)
correct/delete this in your Contacts List

My event was created as ‘all day’ event. I can’t select the event to edit it. How can I now delete it?

I had an event originally from Exchange that I couldn’t delete from my iPhone calendar as well. What I had to do was to go into “Settings” > “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > (Your Exchange Account) > Switch “Calendars” to “OFF”. You’ll receive a confirmation dialog, then you should have cleared out your Exchange calendar completely. Now you can turn it back on and it will re-sync with Exchange.

Go to calandar, select the event (at that time), top right-edit, scroll the page to the bottom, and there should be a delete there.

I accepted the event as the email on my phone is my work email. I am unable to sync my iPhone on my work computer (not allowed). I do not have an edit/delete option for an event that I really need to delete. If I am not able to sync with my work computer, am I unable to get rid of the event?

If you cant delete events,you would also want to check and make sure you are not using an exchange account. it is possible that the server is not setup to allow you to remove these from your device and they would need to be removed from your computer then synced with the phone
