After deleting an event calendar, the number of event calendars in the watch remains unchanged.
This is reported many times. I've had it happen a few times , not sure why some delete OK and other not. I have reported to Support also.
Two solutions I can establish currently.
-Wait until date passes.
Reset the watch , with all the hassles that entails.
If doing the latter , this may help a bit:
