- Scenario
- Deciding whether to delete an active Microsoft Bookings page without disrupting previously scheduled appointments.
- Observed behavior
- There is uncertainty regarding the synchronization between a deleted Bookings service and the attendees' personal Exchange calendars.
Before making any permanent deletions to your Microsoft Bookings page, export your current bookings list to a file or document upcoming meetings to prevent accidental scheduling data loss.
Consult the Dedicated Microsoft Bookings Community
Because deleting a Bookings page affects Exchange Online calendars and mail flow, it is highly recommended to confirm the exact deletion behavior with dedicated Microsoft Bookings support before proceeding.
General IT or Exchange forums often lack the precise details about how Microsoft Bookings synchronizes with end-user calendars upon deletion.
To avoid accidentally leaving orphaned meetings on clients' calendars or unintentionally deleting important records, contacting specialized support is the safest approach.
Navigate to the official Microsoft Tech Community website in your browser.
Search for the dedicated 'Microsoft Bookings' community space, as general Exchange Online forums may redirect you.
Create a new post detailing whether you plan to delete a single service or the entire Bookings calendar, and ask for confirmation on how this impacts existing attendee calendar events.
