Remove-CalendarEvents

  • Reference
Module:
ExchangePowerShell
Applies to:
Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online

This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.

Use the Remove-CalendarEvents cmdlet to cancel future meetings in user or resource mailboxes. Cancelling future meetings removes them from attendee and resource calendars (for example, you're going to remove the mailbox, or the user is going on a leave of absence).

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Remove-CalendarEvents
      [-Identity] <MailboxIdParameter>
      -QueryWindowInDays <Int32>
      [-CancelOrganizedMeetings]
      [-Confirm]
      [-PreviewOnly]
      [-QueryStartDate <ExDateTime>]
      [-UseCustomRouting]
      [-WhatIf]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

This cmdlet cancels meetings in the specified mailbox where the mailbox is the meeting organizer, and the meeting has one or more attendees or resources. It doesn't cancel appointments or meetings without attendees or resources. Because meeting cancellations must be sent out, the mailbox must still be enabled to send mail.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Remove-CalendarEvents -Identity chris@contoso.com -CancelOrganizedMeetings -QueryWindowInDays 120

This example cancels every meeting in the mailbox chris@contoso.com that occurs on or 120 days after today's date. After you cancel the meetings, you can remove the mailbox.

Example 2

Remove-CalendarEvents -Identity "Angela Gruber" -CancelOrganizedMeetings -QueryStartDate 11-1-2018 -QueryWindowInDays 120

This example cancels the meetings in Angela Gruber's calendar for the specified date range. Angela is taking a temporary leave of absence from the company, so cancelling these meetings removes them from the user and resource calendars during her absence.

Example 3

Remove-CalendarEvents -Identity "Jacob Berger" -CancelOrganizedMeetings -QueryStartDate 9-1-2018 -QueryWindowInDays 90 -PreviewOnly -Verbose

This example previews the meetings that would be cancelled in Jacob Berger's calendar for the specified date range. No changes are made to the mailbox.

Parameters

-CancelOrganizedMeetings

The CancelOrganizedMeetings switch specifies whether to cancel meetings in the mailbox. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

To cancel meetings in the mailbox, you need to use this switch.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
