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?

    Hi,

    This is what SHOULD happen, but it didn't... When the participants open the meeting invite, it is still active for them and has no indication of cancelled; I can have someone pull a screenshot if you would like. They also did not receive a meeting cancellation email.

    Thanks,

    Sydney

    Hi there,

    I am having the same issue as this original thread. The meeting was deleted from my calendar as the organizer, but not attendees. It was not cancelled as I am still receiving acceptances/decline notifications. This is the second time this has happened on my Outlook. Please advise as I need to make changes to this invitation.

    Hi,

    That is exactly what happened - the invite deleted from my calendar without sending the cancellation to anyone else on my team. No one at my company in our Support Team has been able to fix this either. Every single individual on my team still has this invitation, except me. I have tried to pull the invite back from my deleted mailbox, my sent mailbox, others' calendars, and have even tried an Outlook Repair, however, nothing is working. In every one of those instances, the invite appears on my calendar as a participant rather than the organizer.

    I have attached a screenshot of how the meeting invite now appears on my calendar - you can see that I am the meeting organizer, however, I am also unable to make any changes to the invite.

    Try this as a fix.

    What we did to resolve the issue was to request an attendee save the original meeting item as an .ics file, and then send the file to the organizer (email, Teams, file transfer). Organizer imports the .ics file into their calendar, and can then delete and send cancellation through the Desktop application.

    Hi,

    Below is an example of my calendar with the deleted meeting (even though I am the Organizer), vs. one of the participant's calendar. This is how it is on all of the participant calendars. It seems to be a glitch.
