        Hi,
it looks like your local cache has got out of sync with the server.
When you delete the calendar cache in
   ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Evolution/cache/evolution/calendar/
then run from a terminal:
   flatpak kill org.gnome.Evolution
and then start Evolution again, then it'll re-sync with the server from
scratch.

Maybe a change on the evolution-ews side could be done to remove an
event from the local cache when the deletion ends with "object not
found" error returned by the server. That will just hide the above
error, but it will also help to cleanup the local cache.

Would you mind to file a new bug here, please?

I may add also a "Force Full Resync" button for the calendars/books/...
to make it simpler to start from scratch.

I do not have an Outlook, thus I tried using the OWA interface of the
server. Results when using a simple appointment (not a meeting, neither
recurring):

* created in evo - shows in OWA
   - deleted in evo - disappears in OWA
   - deleted in OWA - disappears in evo

* created in OWA - shows in evo
   - deleted in OWA - disappears in evo
   - deleted in evo - disappears in OWA

Thus it works fine for me. I did that with an Exchange 2019 server.
        Bye,
        Milan
