This is all about deleting calendar events in iOS 13 on iPhone and iPad.

Also, nowadays, scammers try to show popup on websites, and when you click on it, you are subscribed to their calendar that has hundreds of repeating events. They will bombard you with notifications to check their website or service. So, don’t tap on any popup on sketchy sites. In case this happened with you, you may unsubscribe and delete the subscribed calendar using the above method.

If you don't have the ability to delete the event (it's a shared calendar) then the Edit button will not appear.

For such events, you should remove the shared calendar through Calendars at the bottom of the app, then choose ⓘ on the shared calendar and select Delete Calendar.

Go to the month calendar and double-click on the event. It does not give you the option to delete but you can decline the invite.
