    Dear @Ian Edward Buchanan

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.   

    I understand how inconvenient it must be to see an entry showing in your Office 365 calendar but not be able to locate its details. 

    Please see the following workarounds that will help you verify the issue: 

    Option 1: Check your calendar using Outlook on the web 

    Clear your browser cache to remove outdated or corrupted files:   

    • For Google Chrome:        

    Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data.        

    Select All time, check both Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files, then click Delete from this device.

    • For Microsoft Edge:        

    Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Delete browsing data.        

    Select All time, check both Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files, then click Clear now to proceed.

    Once you've completed these steps, please sign in to your account via office.com and navigate to the Apps section > Select Outlook and then check your Calendar. 

    After clearing the cache, please open a private or incognito window in your browser to continue:   

    • For Google Chrome:     

    Click on the vertical three-dot menu and select New Incognito Window.       

    • For Microsoft Edge:    

    Click the horizontal three-dot menu and choose New InPrivate Window.      

    After opening a private window, please return to the Outlook web page.  

    If you’ve been using a different browser, such as Google Chrome, please try downloading Microsoft Edge and visit office.com to see if the issue persists. 

     

    Option 2: Clear Outlook cache   

    Close the Outlook app completely.  

    Open the Run dialog by pressing Windows + R.  

    Type or paste the following command and click OK:  

    olk.exe --devtools

    The new Outlook will open (you may need to sign in), and the DevTools window will appear.  

    In DevTools:   

    Click Application on the toolbar.  

    Clear local storage cache: Under Storage, find https://outlook.office.com., under Local Storage, right-click it, and select Clear.

    Clear cookies: Under Cookies, locate https://outlook.office.com., right-click it, and select Clear.

    Close the DevTools window.  

    Once completed, the cache for the new Outlook will be cleared. Please note that this process removes temporary files, including saved login credentials, so you may need to sign in again. 

     

    Option 3: Repair the Outlook desktop app    

    Repair the Outlook app to fix any corrupted files or configuration issues that might be causing the problem.       

    Note:       

    If you proceed with this step, all app settings and saved login information will be reset. This means you may need to reconfigure your preferences and sign in again after the reset.        

    We recommend backing up any important settings or data beforehand, if possible.

    Option 4: Reinstall the Outlook application 

    Uninstall the Outlook app. 

    Go to office.com > Apps > Install apps > Microsoft 365 apps > Apps & devices > Install Office.

    If you see an entry listed in your O365 calendar but cannot find it, it may be due to several reasons:

    1. Corrupted Items: There might be corrupted items in your calendar that are causing display issues.
    2. Custom Views: If you have custom views set up, the entry might not be visible in the current view.
    3. Navigation Pane Settings: Corrupted navigation pane settings can also lead to visibility issues.

    To troubleshoot this, you can try the following steps:

    • Run the Calendar Checking Tool for Outlook (CalCheck) to identify and remove any corrupted items.
    • Reset the navigation pane by running the command outlook /resetnavpane in the Start menu.
    • Clean the views by running outlook /cleanviews to restore default views.

    After performing these steps, check your calendar again to see if the entry becomes visible.
