This article explains how you can delete an unwanted booking calendar. You can delete the booking calendar in the Microsoft 365 admin center or you can use PowerShell. The Bookings calendar is a mailbox in Exchange Online so you delete the corresponding user account to delete the booking calendar.

Important

All booking calendars that you created in 2017 or before must be deleted using the PowerShell instructions on this topic. All booking calendars created in 2018 or after can be deleted in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

The booking calendar is where all relevant information about that booking calendar and data are stored, including:

  • Business information, logo, and working hours added when the booking calendar was created
  • Relevant staff and services added when the booking calendar was created
  • All bookings and time off appointments added to the booking calendar once it was created.

Warning

Once a booking calendar is deleted, this additional information is also permanently deleted and can't be recovered.
