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
