Outlook – How to undo a deleted outlook 2016 calendar event

calendarmicrosoft-outlookundo

Is there an easy way to undo deletion of outlook calendar event?

I found

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/recover-deleted-items-in-outlook-for-windows-49e81f3c-c8f4-4426-a0b9-c0fd751d48ce

and

However, all the people in the meeting list is lost, and I lost the meeting content (into an attachment), and the previous scheduled time as well.

Just to make sure that the above is the only option available, and no other easier ways. This is outlook 2016, of the outlook calendar event that I setup long time ago.

I've tried the steps in Lernkurve's answer to the last one, at which point I don't have that "Move → Calendar" option,:

The masked out ones are just personal folders that I created myself.

UPDATE:

As of September 28, 2020, the accepted answer no longer working — It used to work, but this morning when I try it again, it no longer put the deleted meeting back into Calendar, but put it into attachment instead:

I.e., all are lost again — all the people in the meeting list is lost, and I lost the meeting content (into an attachment), and the previous scheduled time as well. I'm using Outlook from Office 365, if it matters.

Best Answer

In Outlook 2016, I do this annoyingly weird sequence of steps:

  1. In the email view (not calendar view), click in the Search Current Mailbox field (above the messages pane).
  2. In the ribbon, go to the Search tab, select Search Tools → Advanced Find...
  3. In the Advanced Find dialog set the following parameters
    1. Look = Appointments and Meetings
    2. In = Deleted Items (not the default of Calendar)
    3. In the `Advanced tab
      1. Field → All Appointment fields → Modified = Today
      2. Click the button Add to List
    4. Click the button Find Now
  4. In the results view, you will now see your deleted appointment

  5. Right-click on it and select Move → Other Folder... → Calendar

    enter image description here

  6. Now, the appointment will show up back in the calendar including all text, attachments, previously scheduled time and the participants.
  7. Done

If anyone finds a simpler solution like, say, Ctrl+Z or something, then please let us know!
