Unrelated, AFAIK.

The Calendar actually is enabled, right? See the checkbox next to the
Calendars name in the tree view (left hand side of Evo).

This is a rather rude way. Anyone reading this, be warned this might
affect more data than you would like to. By "affect" I mean, *delete*...

Note from my observations recreating users data and settings on IRC:

Even if e-d-s is respawned already, it doesn't seem to load the contents
before requested by an app. At least this seems to be true for Contacts.

This effectively means, there is no need to remove the applet if you
really want to remove these data. Just kill e-d-s, remove the data, kill
e-d-s again.

No. This dir holds a lot more.

All *local* calendars are in ~/.evolution/calendar/local/ and the
"Personal" named default one is in /.evolution/calendar/local/system/ .
