If you don't want to see the events from a specific calendar (that you originally created with your iCloud account) in your Calendar app, you can hide or delete that calendar. For calendars that are connected with other accounts (like Gmail or Yahoo), you'll need to delete the calendar from your Settings app. You'll also be unable to delete calendars that aren't originally yours, like subscribed calendars. This wikiHow teaches you how to easily hide or delete a calendar from your iPhone.
