How Do I Delete a Teams Meeting?

To delete a Teams meeting, you typically need to be the person who organized it. Deleting a meeting effectively cancels it for everyone invited.

If you are the meeting organizer, here's how to delete (or cancel) a Teams meeting:

According to the provided reference (08-Dec-2020):

• Go to your calendar tab.
• Click the meeting you wish to cancel.
• Choose edit.
• A pop-up window will appear showing the meeting details.
• Click cancel the meeting on the upper left part of the window.

This action will remove the meeting from your calendar and send a cancellation notification to all attendees.

Steps for the Meeting Organizer

Here is a breakdown of the process for deleting a meeting you organized:

1. Access Your Calendar: Open Microsoft Teams and navigate to the "Calendar" section. This is usually found on the left-hand sidebar.
2. Locate the Meeting: Find the specific meeting you want to delete within your calendar view.
3. Open Meeting Details: Click on the meeting event in your calendar. This will usually bring up a summary or offer options like "Edit," "Join," etc.
4. Edit the Meeting: Select the option to Edit the meeting. This opens the full meeting details window.
5. Cancel the Meeting: In the meeting details window, look for a Cancel meeting button. Based on the reference, this is located on the upper left part of the window.
6. Confirm Cancellation: Teams will likely ask you to confirm the cancellation. Confirming will delete the meeting.

Once cancelled, the meeting will be removed from the calendars of everyone invited, and they will receive a cancellation notice.

It is important to note that only the meeting organizer has the ability to delete a meeting in this manner. Attendees cannot delete a meeting they did not organize, but they can remove it from their personal calendar without cancelling it for others.
