How to remove events from calendars set to "no reminders"

I've just subscribed to several CalDAV calendars which are set to "read only" and "no reminders". However, in the task pane at right of the calendar I have dozens of tasks for these supposedly "no reminder" calendars listed. I cannot seem to get rid of them. I tried setting the calendar to not read-only, but that didn't work. I cannot check the box beside the event. How do I remove these?

Figured it out. You have to click the arrow on the Task/Event pane to move from tasks to events. Then things look normal. In "Task" mode I see every event going back months which seems pretty useless. Switching to "Events" give me the 'Today', 'Tomorrow' sections with upcoming events that I'm used to seeing. This is a fresh install of Thunderbird and this setting wasn't default before (also, this time I had to download the language dictionary as a separate step, which I never had to do before). Thunderbird version 60.8.0 32bit, Windows 7
