How to undo a deleted outlook 2016 calendar event

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.

Solution 1:

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

In the email view (not calendar view), click in the Search Current Mailbox field (above the messages pane).
In the ribbon, go to the Search tab, select Search Tools → Advanced Find...
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
In the results view, you will now see your deleted appointment
Right-click on it and select Move → Other Folder... → Calendar
Now, the appointment will show up back in the calendar including all text, attachments, previously scheduled time and the participants.
Done

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

Solution 2:

For Outlook 2016, I went to the deleted items in the email view. I found the calendar entry that I had accidentally deleted. Right mouse click on it. On the pop up window, it gave me the option to Accept the invite again. I clicked on Accept, and picked the option to not send a response to the organizer (since this one came from someone else). This put it back on my calendar.

Solution 3:

This is for a more accessible, permanent way to find deleted calendar entries. You must still right click the element you want to restore, and choose move to folder -> more -> Calendar.

(I'm using Outlook from Office 365, so not sure if same solution is possible, appologies if not.)

Create the list:

In Outlook, i have a folder category "Search folders" where I can create folders containing elements based on search criteria. As I constantly hit Ctrl+D when trying to save with Ctrl+S I need an easier route, so I created this one:

1) Right click "Search folders" and hit "New search folder..." to add a new search folder.

2) Choose the bottom option "Create a custom search folder" and hit "Choose criteria"

3) Name your folder, and hit "Criteria..." to open the criteria dialogue

4) Under the "Advanced" tab, go to "Field"->"All post fields"->"In folder" and add.

5) Make it to be equal to: [name of your deleted items folder] and click "Add to list".

6) Again, under the "Advanced" tab, now go to "Field"->"All appointment fields"->"Start" and add.

7) Make it "Any time" and click "Add to list".

8) Click "Ok" a couple of times to confirm creation of this folder, and you should find your new folder listing all deleted calendar entries under your "Search folders"-group.
