Meeting Owner - Series Deleted from my Calendar, but not Other Calendars

Hello,

I am having issues with one of the meeting invites I own. We host a full-team meeting for ~300 people on my team, and I am the Outlook owner of this meeting. Somehow, this meeting was deleted off my calendar, but not from others' calendars on my team. I got it back from my sent/deleted folders, however, now I cannot edit the invite. There are wrong dates reflected in the series and I need to either update it, or delete the series for my team altogether, but I am not able to.

With 300 on the team, I am not able to just blast out an email and tell them to disregard the other thread - it always results in confusion and frustration with that many people.

Any thoughts?

    Thank you, Charlene. That is a good catch. We had a big calendar conflict issue a couple months back which got fixed. However, it did not fix bad items in Outlook's local copy of the calendar. If you have seen the Calendar Conflict dialog, now or in the past, pleases do Workaround 2 in the Conflict Known Issue, Outlook shows conflict errors when updating or cancelling meetings - Microsoft Support.

    This will remove the local copy of the calendar and resync a good copy from the server.

    To clear offline Calendar items, follow these steps: 

    1. Close all Office Applications.
    2. Open the Calendarpane in Outlook, and right-click the Calendarfolder.
    3. Select Properties.
    4. On the Generaltab, select Clear Offline Items.
    5. Select OK.
    6. Restart Outlook to start re-sync the local calendar

    It's good to know it's finally been fixed. Unfortunately, I did not receive the patch before the meeting I created on 8/19 vanished, for me only, making me look bad in front of the customer and 32 people from various organizations. I look forward to this never happening again.

    This is not true. I am writing this two years after the original post and Outlook still has this problem. I schedule large meetings and if I accidentally delete one from my calendar, it does not get cancelled for others. Microsoft, please fix this.
