I created a recurring teams meeting a couple years ago and I cancelled / deleted the meeting several months ago. The participants are still getting notifications on upcoming meetings, however, I do not have any access to the meeting, nor is it on my calendar. How can we delete it permanently?

    To permanently delete a Teams meeting that you organized but is no longer on your calendar, you can try the following steps:

    1. Check the Teams App: Sometimes, meetings may still appear in the Teams app even if they are not on your calendar. Open the Teams app and navigate to the "Calendar" section to see if the meeting still exists there.
    2. Use Outlook: If the meeting was created through Outlook, check your Outlook calendar. If you find the meeting, you can delete it from there. This action should send cancellation notices to all participants.
    3. Remove from Teams Admin Center: If you have admin access, you can go to the Teams Admin Center and check for any lingering meetings under the "Meetings" section. You may have the ability to delete or manage meetings from there.
    4. Contact IT Support: If the meeting is still sending notifications and you cannot find it in either Teams or Outlook, it may be necessary to contact your IT support team. They can help investigate the issue and ensure that the meeting is fully removed from the system.
    5. Participants' Actions: Inform participants to check their calendars and remove the meeting from their end as well, as they might still have it saved.

    These steps should help you in resolving the issue of the recurring Teams meeting notifications that participants are still receiving.

    Hi @Sommer, Joel 292

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience regarding cancelled recurring meeting still notifies attendees about the upcoming meetings.  

    Based on your description, if the cancelled meeting does not show up in your calendar, and you no longer have access to it, it's best to contact your organizations IT admin to ask them to perform a calendar event deletion using Microsoft Exchange Online Powershell module.  

    To completely remove your calendar event, please provide your IT admin with the steps below: 

    1. Install Exchange Online module 
    • In PowerShell, run these commands: 
      • Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned  
      • Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
    1. Connect to Exchange Online  
    • Firstly, please import the module into PowerShell by running: 
      Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement  
    • Once finished, run this command to connect to it: 
      Connect-ExchangeOnline –UserPrincipalName <email>
    1. Perform event deletion 
    • Once connected to Exchange Online, run this command: 
    Remove-CalendarEvents
    
    • Explanation of the parameters: 
      • Identity  The organizer’s mailbox that owns the meeting series. Use the SMTP address or UPN.  Example: organizer@example.com 
      • CancelOrganizedMeetings  A switch that sends proper cancellation messages to attendees so the meetings disappear from their calendars. 
      • QueryStartDate  The start of the time window to search for meetings to remove. Use ISO date time.  Example: 2025-01-01T00:00:00 
      • PreviewOnly  Optional switch for a dry run. Shows what would be removed without making changes. 
    • For example:  
      • Save preview first: 
    Remove-CalendarEvents
    
    • Once correct, perform the actual removal: 
    Remove-CalendarEvents
    
    

    I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can work together to resolve this.    

    Thank you for your patience and your understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you. 

    I look forward to continuing the conversation.
