Question

How do I cancel/remove a meeting in Outlook 2013 for Office 365?

Answer

Remove a meeting from your Outlook calendar when the meeting isn't necessary and you want to let the meeting attendees know the meeting is cancelled. 

  1. On the Navigation Bar, click Calendar.
    • Navigation Bar: Commands at the bottom of the Outlook window that enable you to quickly navigate to Mail, Calendar, People, and Tasks.
  2. Click the meeting, but don’t open it.
  3. Click Meeting > Cancel Meeting

  1. Type a message to let the attendees know the meeting is cancelled. It’s not necessary, but it helps to avoid confusion.
  2. Click Send Cancellation.

The meeting including any meeting agenda, notes, and attachments is deleted from Outlook.

Note: Only the meeting organizer—the person who sends a meeting request—can send a meeting update or a cancellation.
