While cleaning up old calendars, I incorrectly deleted a calendar that I still use. I have checked my deleted items folder in the email tab but the calendar does not show there and I cannot restore it using that method. Is there another method I can use?

    Hello @JLH ,

    if you have accidentally deleted a calendar from your Outlook, you may be able to recover them depending on the situation. Here are the steps to try to recover your deleted calendar:

    Restore deleted items:

    • Open Outlook.
    • Click on the "Folders" tab at the top.
    • Look for the "Restore deleted items" option. Here you may find the calendar or appointments that you have deleted.

    Check the "Deleted items" folder:

    Sometimes deleted items, including calendars and events, are moved to the "Deleted Items" folder. Check this folder to see if your deleted calendar or events are there.

    Restore from a backup:

    If none of the above methods work and you have a backup of your Outlook data, you can restore your calendar from this backup. The best way to do this is to contact your administrator.

    Unfortunately the calendar did not show in my deleted items folder. I have reached out to our IT adminstrators with a request to try and restore my calendar. Hopefuly they will be willing and/or able to do so. I was hoping for other ways but I appreciate your help.
