Cancelling appointment that's deleted from sender's calendar

Hi, I have a recurring appointment that I sent to 20
people which needs to be cancelled. Unfortunately I
didn't realize that I had deleted it from my calendar only
until days afterward, so my deleted items folder had been
emptied. Is there any way whatsoever I can still cancel
this appointment myself, and not have to request everyone
else to cancel individually? I'm open to tricks and tips,
anything short of dredging through the backups.

No you are out of luck on that appointment.

However, in the future you may want to think about
implementing the following solution if you make appts
for other people frequently...

Open Outlook
Right click on your top level folder in your mailbox
(The one that starts with Outlook today - ...)
Select NEW FOLDER...
Type a name like OTHER PEOPLES MEETINGS
In the "Folder Contains" box select APPOINTMENT ITEMS

Then the next time you make an appointment for
someone else, Open the OTHER PEOPLES MEETINGS
calendar folder and make your meetings from that calendar.

You will receive a message that because this is not your
default calendar the appointment responses will not be tallied.
This means that as people accept or decline these meetings
the attendee availability information will not be recorded in
the meeting.

This also allows you to make changes to the meeting if
necessary.

Ok, thanks for letting me know.
