how do i delete a teams meeting i organized but is no longer on my calendar

Hi @Kathy Reese, 

Good day, and thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Before we proceed, please note that this is a user-to-user community forum. As a moderator, I don’t have access to your Microsoft 365 tenant, your account, or your device to make changes directly. However, I’ll do my best to support you by sharing the appropriate resources and directing you to the right support channels. 

Based on your description, I understand that you want to delete a Teams meeting that you originally organized, but the meeting no longer appears on your calendar.  

Since the meeting is no longer visible in your calendar, the best next step is to contact your organization’s IT administrator so they can perform an admin-side calendar cleanup in Exchange Online. This is typically required when the meeting still exists for attendees or in the mailbox backend, but is no longer accessible from the organizer’s calendar view.  

Before contacting your IT, you may check whether the meeting can still be recovered from Deleted Items or Recover Deleted Items.  

• Open Outlook and go to Deleted Items first. If you find the meeting there, move (or drag and drop) it back to your Calendar folder.  
• If it is not there, open Deleted Items and select Recover items deleted from this folder, then restore the meeting if it appears in the recovery list. 
• Once the meeting is restored to your Calendar, you may be able to open it and send a normal cancellation from Outlook. If the item cannot be found in either location, please contact your organization’s IT administrator for further assistance. 

IT admins can follow these general steps: 

1. Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell using an account that has the required Exchange permissions.  

• Reference: Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell | Microsoft Learn 

2. Preview which meetings would be cancelled for your mailbox by using Remove-CalendarEvents with -PreviewOnly and a carefully chosen date range.  

• For example: 

Connect-ExchangeOnline 

Remove-CalendarEvents -Identity [******@domain.com] ` 

-CancelOrganizedMeetings ` 

-QueryStartDate "06/01/2026" ` 

-QueryWindowInDays 30 ` 

-PreviewOnly ` 

-Verbose 

• This helps confirm whether the affected meeting falls within the selected window before any cancellation is sent.  

3. Run the cancellation for the selected date range after confirming the preview output.  

• For example: 

Remove-CalendarEvents -Identity ******@domain.com ` 

-CancelOrganizedMeetings ` 

-QueryStartDate "06/01/2026" ` 

-QueryWindowInDays 30 

• Please note that if a recurring meeting has an occurrence inside the selected range, the entire series may be cancelled, so the admin should choose the date window carefully. 

If the meeting still cannot be located or continues to reappear, the admin may need to review Calendar Diagnostic Logs to understand whether the meeting was deleted, recreated, or cancelled by another process.  

Detailed guidance: 

• Remove-CalendarEvents (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn 
• Get Calendar diagnostic logs for Exchange Online mailboxes - Exchange | Microsoft Learn 

Additionally, if needed, your IT team can also raise a support ticket with Microsoft Support through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center for deeper investigation. They have access to backend configurations and can perform a more in-depth investigation. At the very least, they can provide the most effective workaround to ensure your experience remains smooth and secure.      

In case you do not know who is your IT admin, kindly refer to this article: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support
