I've done everything to try and remove this calendar to no avail. Whats worse is all my events are syncing from my Google account to Groups calendar and my Gmail Calendar is being wiped clean....WTF??? and yes I have my Gmail account set to default on my device.
I found that if you go to your calendar and hit bb key then go to "Select Calendar" you have the option to "Show all Calendar, show group calendar, or just your own calendar.
Maybe that will help?
Nope didnt work, even when you select it, it defaults back to Groups =(
Have you looked at Options > Advanced Options > Default Services and made sure the the Group calendar is not the default? It sounds like it is the default calendar. It should be set to whichever calendar you want to be the default.
Google Sync should be synchronizing with whichever calendar is selected on that screen. If it is the Group calendar, then it's going to work with that one.
After messing around with a few groups, I realized that my entire personal calendar just went public. Had to delete all groups, wipe the phone, reinstall BBM5, and then resync my calendars with iCal just to get it back to how it was before. Very frustrating
This is something that has bothered me for a while as well. I don't mind the calendar in BBM Groups, however the phone should not assume that I want all of my calendar events going into this calendar...
This is how you make sure that Your BBM group will not be your default calendar for making appointments on your calendar, and so that you can actually use your gmail account address to sync to google calendar:
Click on the group on your BBM. It will open the list of Group Activities. One of the group activities is 'Calendar.' if you scroll down to the calendar and select it, the next list will say
New Shared Appointment
View Group's Calendar
view all calendars
If you press the menu/bberry key when 'new shared appointment' is selected, you can then select 'group calendar options.'
If you change the Initial view to 'Agenda' instead of 'Default,' you will no longer have you BBM group as the default calendar when making appointments, and you should be able now to use your email calendar to make appointments and then sync them to Google Calendar.
Hope this helps. I am just relieved my Google Sync is finally working in both directions!
I found that when I used groups, my calendar would not sync (I use outlook/BIS). I spent 4 hours on 2 different nights with Verizon and RIM and eventually got it all fixed. The it happened again so I just withdrew from the groups I was in.
It is clear to me the Groups calendar conflicts with the regular calendar.
I had this problem and it drove me crazy. Someone on a Blackberry forum invited me to a BBM Group. It was a little geeky so I deleted the Group and was left with the Group Calendar. Calendar events were now showing up in duplicates on my default calendar and the new Group Calendar. It drove me crazy. This is the only way to get rid of it:
1. Back up your blackberry with DM.
2. Wipe your blackberry but LEAVE 3rd party applications on. You don't need to delete 3rd party apps.
3. Restore your back up.
I still had some duplicate calendar events so I used DM to wipe my calendar on the Berry. I then synced my outlook calendar to my berry with a sync cable and had the PC overwrite the device.
I used a sync cable even though I sync my calendar wirelessly with Google Calendar Sync. I did not want to risk doing a wireless sync and have my empty berry calendar wipe out my PC calendar.
I tried the solutions above...I added a group to my device and instantly had 19 of my calendar entries listed under the group calendar on my device. How stupid is this? Now I have to figure out how to get them back to my default calendar. This is a complete pain in the ***.

Use the move function and then delete the group calendar.
