Phantom Calendars...

Okay, so I have two exchange accounts and one gmail account setup, and I need to see my calendars for all three. That is working fine, however I seem to have a strange issue: when I look at my calendar, each exchange account is showing up twice in my calendar accounts list (one with the account name I created and another with the user@domain.com name) I understand it may be because each one took multiple attempts to initially set up, but my issue is that I cannot find anywhere that I can remove these phantome accounts. I think this is causing a drain on my battery, because it is essentially synching my accounts twice as often as it would otherwise.
When I go to my email accounts list, I only see one account each, so deleting them there is not an option... I'd like to avoid a factory reset, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.
 
No suggestions?

I guess I could always start from scratch... but I have a lot of apps to reinstall.
 
Okay, I believe I have this figured out, so I'll let you guys know just in case somebody else runs into this issue:

If you are using an Exchange account and are synchronizing your calendar, make sure not to either give it a name or rename the account. By default the email app wants to call it "youremail@domain.com", and that is also what the calendar sync tool is looking for.
If you name it something at the and o fthe setup process (or afterwards) the calendar sync will still look for "youremail@domain.com" and will eventually create a new account that only shows in the account list for the calendar app. I do not know if this actually synchronizes the calendar twice or just shows a duplicate account, but I didn't like it.
The only way to drop the duplicate account is by removing the exchange account. Remember, when you re-add it, don't give it a name.
