Cannot delete recurring meeting in Teams

Can't reply to a comment, it just spins and never posts.

It asked me to sign in, then says "Someone already has this email address. Try another name or claim one of these that's available" , which of course should be me...

Hello Jay1 Tran,

When I open Calendar, it says I need an Outlook email address in order to open the calendar. I have never used Outlook on any device or the web.

Thank you

Hi Rob,

Thank you for reaching out.

Based on your description, the meetings may show up in your calendar due to a shared/group/channel calendar overlay, a sync glitch after cancellation/removal, delegate/shared mailbox access, or a leftover Teams channel meeting.

To resolve the issue, please try these steps:

1. Check which calendar the meeting is actually on

• In Outlook or Teams, open the calendar and look for a calendar name or icon.
• If it's a group, shared, or channel calendar, uncheck to remove that calendar from your view or contact the owner to delete the meeting.

2. Try deleting it from Outlook on the web

• Sign into Outlook on the web.
• Open the calendar, right-click the meeting and choose Delete > Delete Series.

3. Contact your IT admin

• If the issue persists, please reach out to your organization's IT admin to remove the meetings using the Exchange PowerShell module.
• Please share the following steps with your IT admin:
• Connect to Exchange Online:

Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName ******@domain.com

• Find and delete the stuck meeting:

# Create a compliance search
New-ComplianceSearch -Name "RemoveStuckMeeting" -ExchangeLocation "******@domain.com" -ContentMatchQuery 'Kind:meetings AND Subject:"Exact Meeting Subject Here"'
# Start the search
Start-ComplianceSearch -Identity "RemoveStuckMeeting"
# After the search completes, purge the results
New-ComplianceSearchAction -SearchName "RemoveStuckMeeting" -Purge -PurgeType SoftDelete

For more information, your IT admin can refer to:

• New-ComplianceSearch (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn
• Start-ComplianceSearch (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn
• New-ComplianceSearchAction (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn
