Calendar stopped updating

Thank you for all you do! I'm a longtime user of Thunderbird, and I rely on it tremendously. (I also regularly donate!)

I've recently had to install the Owl for Exchange plugin (https://www.beonex.com/owl/) due to my work changing its Exchange system. It has worked relatively well for several weeks, but now I've encountered a major problem.

Calendar events do not update. This includes not just the calendar that Owl uses, but also my two CalDAV calendars on a separate system. If I disable the Owl plugin, the others still don't work. If I create a new event in TB on one of the CalDAV calendars, it appears remotely, but not on TB.

I imagine something has gotten mucked up in the calendar database. Perhaps there's some way I could wipe that locally and re-sync with the remote calendars? I actually now can't even delete calendars. If I try to unsubscribe from one, when I restart the program, it's back (though grayed out).

I am running Thunderbird 68.10.0 on MX Linux. The plugins are up to date.

Thanks so much in advance for your assistance with this.

Inside your profile folder you'll find a sub-folder named calendar-data. The name is self explanatory. I don't know what would happen if you cleared its contents. You're free to play with it, but as usual, have a backup of your profile before paying with its files.

Thanks Stans—simply removing that folder allowed the calendars to update successfully!
