Delete Calendar Invite w/o Response?

I'm on 6.1.4 with Exchange 2013. On the desktop side I'm Windows 8/Outlook 2013. I followed the advice of deleting the calendar from my iPhone and adding it back (while on WiFi) and that seems to have fixed the issue for me - now if I accept the meeting invite on my PC the iPhone recognizes the response and dismisses the invite.

Chuck444 - thank you for the workaround.

I called Apple Support and the initial person I spoke to said that the person who sent the invitation "has the right to receive a reply" (no, not if they are spamming me and I do not know them!!).

I asked to be given to a developer or another person - and they are checking.

Your work-around does indeed help for a local system (mac computer).

Sadly, the notification still exists in my icloud.com web interface under calendar.

Thanks again Chuck444 for posting this work-around (works for a physical computer, awaiting/researching method to fix for the icloud.com web interface).

I am tired of apple's games. It's MY phone. I don't have a right to clean up my calendar because someone else has a right? Also, that somsone else has messed the invitation up and resent a recurring invite 10 times. So half of my calebdar is his invitations FOR EVER!

This was the last time in my life I bought any thing apple.

Just loaded IOs 7.0.4 and now have an OK button on the calendar invites on the screen that lists all the invites. I did not go into the detail of the invite (that has the accept / decline / maybe). All the invites on the phone are invites I have already accepted on my PC. I click OK and the invite goes away!!!!!

Have not tested functionality on an invite that I have not accepted. If anyone else does please update this post.

I just loaded 7.0.4 and the issue still exists for outlook invites you delete in outlook without responding still showing up in your iPhone calendar inbox as "new" with no ability to respond.

In terms of the feedback given to one user by Apple about how the organizer "deserves a response" these are meetings I'm not even invited to and are instead someone forwarding me an invite and asking me to put together a proposal or other meeting item for them so I would NOT want to respond to the invite and instead just want it gone/deleted so a fix is most definitely necessary apple!

Correction to typo above: the deleted invites still show up in my iPhone calendar (after deleting in outlook without a response) with no ability to DELETE the invite from my phone. I'm forced to respond or else it stays as a new notification. I even tried permanently deleting the invite from my outlook mailbox and re-syncing my iPhone calendar, still there as a new invite on my iPhone calendar. Again, these are situations where I was not an intended invitee to the meeting and instead someone forwarded me the invite so I am NOT to accept or decline the invite due to negative implications of an uninvited attendee suddenly declining an invite they should never have received.

Found a work-around: From a computer, you have to go to your outlook calendar and the meeting day where the invite displays as pending a response and delete it from your outlook CALENDAR, not just delete the invitiation from your inbox and trash. You'll be prompted if you want to notify the organizer and you can say you do not. Then re-sync the iphone calendar. It would still be much easier if apple would just add a "delete" option to meeting invites in the iphone calendar so you can delete without a response.

I am really surprised that Apple has let a *bug* like this continue. I definitely need a local (iPhone only) 'Dismiss' button. I have heard many people in the corporate environment cry about this missing option.

I moved the calendar app into the vast wasteland of the fourth screen. That way the red dot overlord is winking its pitiful existence out in no mans land. By no means a solution, but it does remove it from line of sight.

I too had a pesky recurring Invite from 6 months ago which I was unable to delete on my iPhone 4S (IOS 7.1.2). After reading the different responses, I was hesitant to delete my entire "Work" Calendar which would have solved the problem but would also have deleted ALL Invites and All Meetings when I only wanted to get rid of the one Invite. After a few minutes of thinking (a bit of a challenge for me 😉), I came up with the following workaround leveraging the "delete the Calendar" solution:

1) Create and Save a new Calendar called "Junk" (or whatever name you like)

2) Open the Invite you wish to get rid of

3) Change and Save the Calendar on the Invite to "Junk"

4) Delete the Calendar "Junk"

Hope that helps...

And this is still a problem with 8.1.1...

It is and it's driving users nuts. I have users who have over 20 meeting invites daily.

This still needs a resolution.

I'm sure 8.2 still does not fix this problem either.

Hate to resurrect an old thread but I found the most simple solution is the most obvious. On my Mac in Calendar.app, while in month view you will see the pending invitation displayed in gray on the date of the event. Simple right click and select delete. This removed all traces of the invitation.

Brilliant solution! I just need to buy a Mac to delete appointments from my iPhone that I don't want to reply to!

It's so ridiculous that this bug (yes, it's a bug) hasn't been fixed yet! Why can't Apple just give us a 'delete' option?

The only real solution I know is TURN OFF OS-X Calendar in accounts and install Sunrise instead. iOS has no real problems handling it, thought when you go to inbox (in calendars) and look at past replays there it is a mess of things, tough could be useful potentially.

For OS-X I guess we are out of lick and I have to look at box reminding me that I have 71 invitations which I already may have replied to.

Sunrise, looks very similar, is free, from Microsoft and it does not have this problem.

Most of the work arounds here are unfortunate and some do not even work. I have 71 meetings a day which I have to click on "OK" or respond. It is total mess. I do not want to move them or delete them since I also need a record of what meetings we did and when.

Sunrise for now...
