MacOS – How to clear calendar cache

calendargooglemacos

I'm trying to clear the cache of my calendar, since I'm having trouble with calendar notifications after connecting to a Google Calendar.

One of the recommended solutions is to clear the Calendar cache as described here
http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-the-iCal-Cache

However, within my Library folder I cannot find the suggested subfolders

~/Library/Calendars/
~/Library/Caches/

in which I would find

~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal

Are such folders now in a different location? Or are they hidden somehow? (I'm using OS X Maverics 10.9.4.)

Any hints would greatly be appreciated.

Just learned that the Library files are hidden in the most recent versions of OSX. To see them, open Finder, then click simultaneously on the Go tab and the Option key. As long as they are held down, a new item (Library) will appear. Go down to it and you will find your file. Or you can open Finder, select the Go tab, then the Go to Folder item, and insert ~/Library. Not exactly user intuitive. Unfortunately, Apple is becoming more like Microsoft in terms of usability.
