2. In the left column, click the down arrow beside "My calendars."

3. Hover over the calendar you want to unshare and then click on the three vertical dots to the right of it.

4. Click "Settings and sharing."

5. Scroll down to the "Share with specific people" section and click the "X" besides the contacts you no longer wish to share your calendar with.
