How do I change Google Calendar Offline account
I have 2 Google accounts, only one of which I use for calendar entries. Unfortunately it seems I was logged into the wrong account when I set up offline calendar. Now the offline Calendar option is only available for one of those accounts. Does anyone know how I disable Calendar on that account so I can use it on the other account?

Hi Koen,
<<You can disable offline calendar by going to calendar.google.com in Chrome, clicking on the gear (settings) icon in the top right corner and selecting "Offline" (which would display a green check mark indicating it's currently enabled). There's an option "Disable offline calendar".>>
If I click on that icon all it does is sync the calendar. If I right click it just brings up the usual web page options.
If I go into Settings Offline in Google Calendar I can disable "Other Calendars" but the check box on My Calendar is greyed out and can't be unchecked.

Thanks Koen, that helped make progress but it's still not right.
I managed to disable on the unwanted account and I clicked offline on the other account. I waited for it to sync and I checked the settings that show the calendar is available offline.
To test it I then closed Chrome, set the computer to Airplane mode and relaunched Chrome but the Calendar came up with the message "Your account does not have offline access". To make sure it's not a peculiarity with Airplane mode I turned Airplane mode off and disconnected from the WiFi and it came up with the same message.

I downloaded and ran the 14 day trial version of CCleaner and it did the trick. Now it works as it should.
On the subject of CCleaner, I gather you recommend purchasing the pro version is worth it for each of my two PC's and having the overhead of CCleaner run every time I log off is worth the money????

Great! Glad I could help.
No, I don't recommend the pro version. I've only ever used the free version as I don't see the benefit in upgrading. The only things you get additional is automatic updates and I think some monitoring on redundant files, but that's hardly worth it. Running it manually once or twice a month is more than enough to keep your computer clean. I also usually turn off any monitoring features that come with the free version.

You can disable offline calendar by going to calendar.google.com in Chrome, clicking on the gear (settings) icon in the top right corner and selecting "Offline" (which would display a green check mark indicating it's currently enabled). There's an option "Disable offline calendar".
I'm pretty sure that once you've turned it off, you can enable it for the other account. Do make sure you are logged in under the correct user in Chrome when performing these actions.
