    Hi @Redistro ,

    According to my research, 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.

    It is recommended organizer that try to recover the meeting and send a cancel notification.

    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.
