Applies to: Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, Office 365 for enterprises, Microsoft Exchange, Live@edu

You can cancel a meeting you previously scheduled.

How do I cancel a meeting I scheduled?

  1. In Calendar, select the meeting you scheduled.
  2. On the toolbar, click Delete Delete.
    You can also open the meeting and then click Cancel Meeting cancel meeting on the meeting request form toolbar.
  3. If it's a repeating meeting, choose whether to cancel this occurrence, all occurrences after a specified date, or all occurrences of the meeting, and then click OK.
  4. Click send Send or ALT+S to send the cancellation notice to attendees.
    If you want to include a message with the cancellation notice, for example, the reason you're canceling the meeting, type your message in the body of the cancellation form before you send it.

What else do I need to know?

  • You can't cancel a meeting you didn't create. If you've accepted an invitation to a meeting from somebody else and want to cancel, you can only remove the meeting from your calendar.
  • When you delete a meeting from your calendar (you can do this by deleting the meeting or by declining it), you'll be given a choice of sending a response, editing the response before you send it, or not sending a response. If you don't send a response, the meeting organizer won't know you've removed the meeting from your calendar.
