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, Any advice when - in the same situation - the forwarded meeting series invite cannot be saved as ics? I can save this meeting invite as 'Text Only'; "Outlook Template'; 'Outlook message format' ; 'outlook message format- unicode'; 'HTML' and 'MHT files' but not Outlook invite/ .ics - so can't use the fix that worked for everyone here :(

    This approach worked for me.

    It only worked when using another Desktop Outlook application of an attendee.

    You need to go through File -> Import to add the ICS file, you cannot double click it from your file explorer or it will try to open as an invite, where you will then be told "you don't have to reply to your own meeting".

    no this does not work. there is a solution in this thread that includes saving the file as ics and then importing back into your calendar - that works.

    Please see the following that answers your question.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1377787/meeting-deleted-from-organizer-calendar-but-not-at

    Deleting a meeting means you just remove the meeting from your calendar without notifying the attendees. Canceling a meeting will send attendees a cancellation email and remove the meeting from their calendars.

    If you deleted the meeting and want to recover:

    • Go to someone's calendar and forward the invite back to yourself.
    • Accept the Meeting and update your calendar
