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?

    This has happened to me as well. I cancelled the meeting series as an organiser and it was removed from my calendar, however no one else got the cancellation and still shows as a recurring meeting in calendars.

    A colleague forwarded the meeting to me and all the buttons were greyed out so I couldn't edit it and it wouldn't show in my calendar.

    We have set up a new series, however with muliple parties involved in the non-cancelled meeting this has made communication about deleting the other series challenging.

    It is very sad to see no solution provided from Microsoft, just rephrasing of the same words.
    I am also gonig through similar situation and not able to find any solution.

    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
