For whatever reason you need to unshare your Microsoft Outlook calendar with someone, it's easy to do so on a Mac or PC. But, only an event creator or admin can change the sharing status of calendars. 

It's also important to note that Outlook sends a notification when a calendar is unshared, so the removed party will be aware of the action.
