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?

    The issue you describe sounds like the issue documented here, Meeting request is missing from organizers calendar (microsoft.com).

    The issue is first fixed in Version 2203 (Build 15028.20160) which is now at Current Channel. The Outlook Team is currently working to backport this fix to the other channels.

    What version is the client that reproduced the issue (File, Office Account, under About Outlook)?

    After trawling the web, and reading all of the very unhelpful responses from Microsoft themselves I have found a work around:

    1. Get someone to forward the invite back to you.
    2. Accept the Meeting
    3. Download the meeting as ICS file to your desktop
    4. Delete the meeting from your calendar
    5. Import the meeting back into your calendar via File, Open & Export, Import/Export, Import an iCalendar (.ics) or vCalendar file (.vcs), select the file on your desktop and import.
    6. This allows the cancellation and control of the invite again.

    Note, if this is a long running series, you will need to make sure you are sent the series, not the occurrence.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you for this! Do you how to import this to a different calendar than my own (shared calendar) that I am the owner of? When I import, it just keeps going to my own personal calendar.

    Thanks man, you are the best. This took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out. There is no information on this anywhere, but your solution worked perfectly!
