I created a meeting that I now wish to delete. I have a conflict error message that appears when I try to either open the meeting or delete it. The conflict error reads "One or more items in the folder you synchronized do not match. To resolve the conflicts, open the items, and then try this operation"

Hi Padma,
I had the same issue as you, but found that if you attempt to resize the "white space" (using the mouse to bring up the arrow keys) the whole conflict becomes visible once more and you can click the "Keep All" or "Keep This" option once more to attempt to resolve the conflict. Thanks
There is a bug that causes the conflict issue with Outlook Desktop. Until the fix is available and if you run into the conflict error, update that meeting in OWA, New Outlook, or Teams. This is one of our top priority fixes upcoming. Here is the Known Issue tracking the status, Outlook shows conflict errors when updating or cancelling meetings - Microsoft Support.
Until this gets fixed it might be best to update the conflict meeting from OWA or Teams or New Outlook. The conflict is only on the machine that you see the Conflict Message. It is not in OWA or even in Outlook Desktop on another machine. If you want to try and Clear Offline Items do the following:
Right click on your calendar and click Properties.
Click Clear Offline Items. This will clear the local copy of your calendar items and it will pull down good copies from the service. It might take some time to copy down all the items again if you have a big calendar.
I had this happen for a meeting where a conflict manager would pop up. I apparently clicked the wrong option, so I now have over 500 instances of the meeting in my calendar. I went through and deleted some, but the meeting invitees got the cancellation for each instance I deleted. I am worried when it comes time for this meeting my Outlook will crash. I also had a previous meeting invite keep popping up as a meeting reminder after having a conflict error (weeks after the meeting happened and following me repeatedly dismissing the notification). If that happens for all 500+ instances of this meeting....
Is there any way to delete all of these meetings at once without sending notifications to attendees?
I have the same issue, and cannot resolve it.
.... tried all the replies posted here...
no idea where "the folder" is, or what items "do not match" ....
