Hi @michael lustig

By default if a mailbox is deleted, it would be kept for 30 days in the database.
And you may use the New-MailboxRestoreRequest command to restore the mailbox.

Here are the steps:

1. run this command in Exchange Management Shell to get the guid of the deleted room mailbox: Get-MailboxDatabase | foreach {Get-MailboxStatistics -Database $.DistinguishedName} | where {($.DisplayName -eq "room mailbox name") -and ($_.DisconnectReason -eq "SoftDeleted" -or "Disabled")} | Format-List DisplayName,DisconnectReason,DisconnectDate,MailboxGuid

2.if the room mailbox is shown in the result, run the following command to restore it to the newly created room mailbox or another room mailboxes

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceStoreMailbox <Mailbox guid from the output> -SourceDatabase <database which hosts the deleted room mailbox> -TargetMailbox <newly created room mailbox name> -AllowLegacyDNMismatch  

3.Once the restore request completes, you may see the appointments restored in the new room mailbox
