        Hi,
it would be definitely interesting to know what caused it [1], but if
you want to just fix the things, then go to
   ~/.cache/evolution/tasks/
find a directory for that particular tasks list and move it away. Then
restart evolution-calendar-factory process, which will cause the task
list to populate from scratch. You should not have running evolution
processes (ps ax | grep evolution) while playing with the internal data
files, but it's not always possible (for example GNOME Shell restarts
the calendar factory when it disappears).
        Bye,
        Milan

[1] The EWS server sends list of created/modified/removed items between
    checks and evolution-ews uses it to synchronize the content locally.
    What you face can mean that the deletion was not done properly on
    the local side.
