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.

When a meeting is deleted, any tasks or polls created from the meeting page are also deleted. These deleted items cannot be recovered.

To remove a meeting from invitees' calendars and prevent them from viewing it on the platform without deleting its tasks and polls, empty the meeting's invite list instead of deleting the meeting. To learn how to do so, please see Related Articles.
