You might have issues where you keep getting invites to meetings you removed yourself from. Outlook will sometimes do that if it continues to see those meetings in some way on your profile. What you’ll need to do is delete every instance of that meeting to get rid of the reoccurring prompts. This article outlines how to remove persistent or recurring meeting prompts in Outlook, including duplicate or outdated calendar entries.
PLEASE NOTE: For resolving recurring meeting prompts, ghost reminders, or duplicate invites use Classic Outlook for the best results. Any changes made in Classic outlook will be reflected in New Outlook if you decide to switch.
- Classic Outlook
- New Outlook
1. Log into the Outlook application or web version (office.com)
2. Navigate to the meeting you want to remove, double click the meeting to open it.
3. Choose
- Delete (if attendee), OR
- Cancel Meeting (if organizer)
4. When prompted, select:
- Do Not Send a Response (attendee), OR
- Do Not Send Cancellation (organizer)
5. If the meeting is recurring, choose:
- The entire series (full removal), OR
- This occurrence (single instance)
6. Highlight the inbox of the mailbox you want to search by clicking on it, search for the name of the meeting.
7. Select the drop down next to the name of the meeting and select "Current Folder"
8. You can change these options to refine through whatever section would have the meeting prompts. For example, you can try "All Outlook Items" and this should cover all of the bases.
9. Ensure to remove these previous instances using steps 1-3, you may even need to check the Deleted folder to do this.
