            Bug ID: 423791
           Summary: Deleting a Caldav calendar also deletes it on the
                    server
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 5.14.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: rafael.brandmaier at kdemail.net
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When you delete a Caldav calendar, the calendar will also be deleted from the
server. This is not expected behaviour, as these types of calendars are usually
used to synchronize them on multiple clients. So deleting the calendar in a
client like KOrganizer should only remove the local files and subscription to
the Caldav server, but should not affect the server at all. If I wanted to
delete the calendar from the server, I would do that in the servers interface.

Even if the functionality to delete calendars from the server is intended, this
needs to made very clear in the UI. Currently, the confirmation dialog is the
same as for local calendars and does not imply the calendar will be permanently
removed from the server.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on a Caldav calendar, select the deletion option.
2. Confirm the non-specific dialog that appears.

OBSERVED RESULT
The calendar is deleted from KOrganizer, but also from the server.

EXPECTED RESULT
Only the local data is deleted and the subscription to the server is removed.
The data on the server however should remain untouched.
