lingering calendar events after sync

Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not, but it seemed a useful starting point.

I've just brought my g/f a samsung note. She didnt have a google play store account, so I downloaded a few apps I thought she'd like, sync'd her phone to my account to add them, then deleted my google account from the phone.

The trouble is, there are a heap of events from my contacts still showing in her calendar. I've isolated it to the 'My Contacts' calendar, so I can turn it off, but I'd really rather remove them entirely - sort of imagining she'll want her own contacts info sync'd in eventually.

On a related matter, if I do have my google account on her phone, even with all calendar and contact syncing disabled, Sarah still see's all my calender events (as well as the contact events described above).

We have a shared google calendar, but otherwise totally separate account info.

She's running stock android 4.0.3.

Would really like to solve these, thanks.

Thanks, that worked to clear the lurking contact related events. I still dont seem to be able to have my google account on her phone without it adding in my entire diary - regardless of whether its set to sync the calendar etc or not :/
 
That's because the phone will download the calendar before you have even turned it off. Although I fail to see the need to have your account on her phone. Just make her a separate account from yours.

Yeah, we've created one for her now - we'll she already had her own google account. I'd just wanted to buy her some apps for the note without her knowing, so now they're purchased on my account so I'd wanted to leave my account in there so they'd stay updated. It wasn't a lot so will probably just buy them again from her phone.

Thanks.
