Prior to Tiger, delete everything in ~/Library/Calendars.
In Tiger, delete everything in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/

Even when I do that everything keeps coming back after a few seconds.

Is there a cache or something?

(The only thing the "genius" bar tells me is to reinstall OSX. That seems a bit overkill.

Ok ... that seemed to work.

I'm still getting an error when I try to iSync it though. (Which is why I wanted a total reset.)

.Mac sync error
The error is *** [NSNull timeZone]: selector not recognized [self = 0xa0727218]

Helpful, no?

I tried the reset sync from iSync to no avail.
