In general, if you intend to remove an Outlook meeting organized by you, you will be requested to send a cancellation to other attendees. This article will introduce a handy way to delete the meeting without needs to send cancellation.
On one occasion, I’ve initiated a meeting in Outlook and notified all the necessary attendees. Later, for some reasons, I wouldn’t be able to take part in the meeting. Therefore, I hoped, I could remove the meeting only from my calendar but kept the meeting going on, and all the other attendees should attend the meeting normally. However, when I tried to remove it, the system asked me to send a cancellation to other attendees. I looked forward to a method to delete the meeting without needs to send cancellation.
