I. Introduction

Meetings can be deleted by people with the following roles:

  • Organization Admins

  • Meeting creator/owner

  • Meeting collaborator

When a meeting is deleted, all its content (including its tasks, polls, agendas, and documents) is also deleted. Deleted meetings cannot be restored on the interface.

When a meeting is deleted, invitees are sent an email update notification. This notification removes the meeting's event from their personal calendars. For single-day meetings, meetings in a recurring series, and complete multi-day meetings, it can include customized text (i.e. a note about the cancellation reason.)

After a meeting is deleted, the following details continue to display in the Deleted Meeting List:

  • Meeting title

  • Meeting date, if set

    • Represented in text, and in a calendar icon

    • No date listed for find-a-date meetings

  • Meeting time, if set

    • No time listed for find-a-date meetings

  • Groups added, if any

  • Admins, observers, and members invited, represented by their profile pictures

These details cannot be permanently removed from the Deleted Meeting List.
