Hi Ardamilola ,

 

Yes I tried the Remove-CalendarEvents script, but I believe that script is for future meetings and I want to clear the past meeting entries too. Also I got to clear calendar events for around 1000+ users. So a script which calls the input list would be feasible.

    Hi muhamedrafeeq and Ardamilola, 

     

    Did you solve this problem? 

    I'm facing the exactly problem here. 

     

    I tried 

    Remove-CalendarEvents -Identity user@domain.com.br -CancelOrganizedMeetings -Confirm:$false -verbose

     

    and


    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery "kind:meetings AND From:user@domain.com.br" -DeleteContent

     

    But no success 😞

      The problem with Remove-CalendarEvents is that it's forward looking and I suspect that you want to remove events in the past. This can be done with the Search-Mailbox cmdlet using a command something like this:

       

      Search-Mailbox -Identity MailboxtoSearch -SearchQuery 'Received:01-Jan-2019..15-Dec-2020 kind:meetings' -TargetFolder Searches -TargetMailbox AnotherMailbox -LogOnly -LogLevel Full

       

      This command looks for calendar meeting events in a certain date range and creates a report in the target folder in the target mailbox. If you want to delete the items, run: 

       

      Search-Mailbox -Identity MailboxtoSearch -SearchQuery 'Received:01-Jan-2019..15-Dec-2020 kind:meetings' -DeleteContent

        Thank you TonyRedmond  !

         

        I issued this command

         

        search-Mailbox -Identity user@domain.com.br -SearchQuery "kind:meetings" -DeleteContent -confirm:$false -Force

         

        and Worked ! thank you for your time ! 

         

        also I used -confirm:$false -Force because i needed to run in many users. 

         

        Thanks Again ! Best Regards !
