How to get deleted event(s) part of a given series

I need to retrieve deleted event(s) from a given recurrent series.
I'm creating a PowerBI report based on Outlook calendar. Leveraging the recurrnces data structures I have been able to build all events of a given series but I'd like to delete the event(s) that have been eventually deleted by the user manually. The flag "isCancelled" part of the event entity does not seem to fit my needs.

    Hello @Cristiano Degiorgis,

    Based on current research, there is no Graph API available that retrieves a list of deleted occurrences of a recurring event. Since this feature is not present, you may consider submitting a feature request. The Microsoft team will review this for possible inclusion in future Microsoft Graph API updates.

    Alternatively, setting up a subscription to track calendar changes through webhooks is possible. This allows you to detect events with change types such as "created," "updated," or "deleted."

    Documentation reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/subscription-post-subscriptions?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

    You can also use the /delta API to track event changes. However, it won't provide information on deleted occurrences directly. You can, nevertheless, compare the previous occurrences with the current ones.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @Cristiano Degiorgis

    After research, the Graph Api does not currently provide the ability to retrieve a list of all deleted events of a recurring event, and someone has asked the same question before, and you can check this link.

    So, we suggest that you can submit a feature request idea using this support link, which will be monitored by Microsoft team and make the enhancements to Microsoft Graph APIs. I will also upvote for you.

    Hope this helps.
