When you have a recurring appointment in MS Outlook and you delete some occurrences, is it afterwards possible to restore one of it? They don't show up in the recycle bin.

I had the same problem. The only thing I found was to change the recurrence, which restored every instance of the appointment. For example, add a week to a weekly appointment, save, then set the ending date back to where it was.

As best as I can tell it isn't possible.

If you're the meeting organiser, I found a workaround which will re-create the deleted meeting as a single event, tested using the Outlook 2016 desktop client:

  1. Click on one of the recurring meetings and press Ctrl + C to copy it
  2. In the same calendar, press Ctrl+V to paste it, which will duplicate the entire series in the current calendar without sending invites
  3. Open the duplicate series (the entire series) and modify the date so that it occurs on the date of the event you canceled but would like to restore
  4. Remove the recurrence (Recurrence > Remove Recurrence in Outlook 2016)

If you're not the meeting organiser, this should work:

If you previously declined a meeting and want to change your response, you can find the original meeting request in the Deleted Items folder.

  1. Switch to your Deleted Items folder. You can find your Deleted Items folder in the Folder Pane.
    • If your Folder Pane isn't visible, select View > Folder Pane > Normal.
  2. Double-click the original meeting request in the Deleted Items folder. Then click Accept or Tentative.

If the Deleted Items folder has been emptied, this option isn't available. Ask the meeting organiser to forward you the original meeting request.
