Change Calendar View and Hide Unassigned Staff
Since the 'No staff' entry is an inherent system view rather than a standalone calendar, you must adjust the display settings to hide it from your active workspace.
Microsoft Bookings uses the 'No staff' entry to track unassigned appointments. It is built into the system and cannot be permanently deleted. However, you can easily hide it by adjusting your calendar layout.
Open Microsoft Bookings and navigate to the Calendar page. Change the view from 'Day by Staff' to 'Month' or 'Work Week' using the view selector in the upper right corner.
Go to the Staff list pane on the screen. Locate the 'No staff assigned' entry and select the option to unpin or hide it from your active staff view.
If you wish to see a feature that allows complete deletion, navigate to the Microsoft Feedback portal to submit a feature request to the development team.
