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

Anonymous

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?

    Hello SydenyKneller,

    Based on your initial post, you find this calendar in deleted item, we tried it, if you have cancelled a meeting then it will move it to the Deleted Items in Outlook. Since meeting has deleted recipients will receive a cancellation like these screenshots show：

    Further, even the meeting organizer move it back to inbox folder, recipients still will see this meeting has cancelled, therefore we suggest you create a new meeting. Meanwhile, may I carefully request you provide the participants’ screenshots in your end? Further, if you are not available to edit it, we kindly suggest you create a new meeting again.

    Your understanding and co-operation will greatly appreciate.

    Kind Regards,

    Tommy

    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

    Hello,

    We already tested it tried to reproduce your situation. And you are correct, if you have deleted the the calendar, you won't see it anymore but participants' calendar still can see the meeting in their calendar until they open it, it should shows that the meeting has cancelled, further they also should will receive a email about cancellation. This deleted meeting still "exist" until attendees delete it manually.

    Kind Regards,

    Tommy

    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.

    Hello SydenyKneller,

    May I carefully request you provide us a screenshot of one of attendees' detailed calendar? Based on our experience and knowledge, if you have deleted the calendar, the participants will receive a email notification about meeting has cancelled, event you moved deleted calendar back to inbox folder, in the participants' calendar detailed page it should still show up this meeting has cancelled. Based on it, we kindly encourage you create a new teams meeting in Outlook.

    Best Regards,

    Tommy
