[DM-MUG] Is there any way to totally delete everything ref iCall off my computer?

I noticed [this is about 2 weeks ago but I've been out of town and am 
now back and trying to deal with the issue] that the master iCal [on 
the MacPro] had gobs of duplicate entries.  I used a couple of 
different pieces of software to delete them = they reappeared.   Even 
doing it by hand didn't prevent things from coing back.

I finally stopped syncing the iCal on the MacPro entirely and have 
been using my MacbookPro copy and my iPhone copy, but those are not 
optimal.  I did get in touch with Apple/Applecare and have a case 
number and per request did a Capture Data thing [it's an app which 
runs, captures data and sends it to Apple for engineer review] and 
that was two weeks ago = I have heard nothing since despite 
contacting the guy with case number 2x today.

In the meantime, I'm thinking if I can delete all iCal stuff 
entirely, that might help fix the problem  - I could reinstall iCal 
and then bring in a 'clean' copy from the MacBookPro= or maybe I'm 
not understanding what may be happening.  [I have already deleted the 
prefs and other com.apple things ref iCal in the Library - nothing 
has cured the problem.

Is iCal part of a user or is it root and part of the system itself? 
Would I have to wipe out the whole OSX and reinstall OSX?  [I did do 
a reinstall in early fall but then did a migration back so might have 
brought back bad stuff = I assume I'd have to really start fresh if I 
did it this time]  Or is it possible to go in and delete all the iCal 
and then go in via the install disks and reinstall iCal fresh?

Any other thoughts while I work on this til I hear back from Apple.
