unable to delete old flow

Posted on by mformann

I am hoping someone can help me with an issue that has been plaguing my calendar for 3 years and no one has been able to help me fix it. 4 years ago I created a flow to transfer info from my Google calendar into my Outlook calendar. At some point the flow was deleted or disabled (I can no longer access it or find it anywhere), but I continue to get reposts of meetings and calendar events from 3 years ago on my calendar every single day. I have asked our IT folks for help and they have no answers. They are unable to locate a flow and don't know how to fix this. Does anyone have experience with this and have an idea of how to make this stop? I am so incredibly frustrated and tired of deleting everything on my calendar every day. I've asked if they can wipe my calendar but the items keep appearing. I've gotten to the point of turning off notifications, but then I've missed new calendar items. Please help!

Hey @mformann
Similar thing was happening with me, where I was daily getting message to mark my attendance. I went and disabled each and every scheduled flow. But still I was receiving the mail. Then I went to shared with me tab, there I found the culprit. Then I disabled it. Probably in your case to the flow is in shared with me tab.

Thank you for that suggestion. I just went and checked and it says I have no flows under any of the 3 categories (cloud, desktop, or shared with me). That's why this is so crazy-- the flow doesn't exist and yet it keeps happening. I even looked into the future and the events are already on the calendar for infinity 😭

Hey, probably you must have seen this, but if you have not check out this link.

Also you should ensure you didn't shared the flow with someone else and also the flow is not in any other environment.

Thank you for the suggestions- here's the real problem:

I'm a teacher who likes to explore and try things but really I have no actual idea how most of this works. So I made the flow following blog instructions, but the blog you suggested... I just don't understand what it is asking me to do. I was hoping there would be a button to click or an app to use to fix this issue, but it seems like this is way more involved than that. This is super low-priority for IT (as in, I've been waiting over 2 years for a solution...) so I'm willing to try to fix it myself. Do you have any other recommendations for how to fix it for non-IT people?

What do you mean, make sure it's not in any other environment? Where else would it be?
