Automatically remove canceled meetings

Hello, we are using Outlook 2003 on Exchange 2003 and I have set up 4
conference room accounts for automatic booking.

Everything works well except for one thing: I have noticed if I cancel
a test meeting in which I have booked a conference room, the meeting
still shows in that conference room account's calendar as canceled and
must be manually removed. The canceled meeting does not prevent users
from booking the room for that same time slot, but I am concerned that
the presence of the canceled meeting on the calendar may cause
confusion.

Does anyone know of a way to configure these resource mailboxes so
that canceled meeting requests will be automatically deleted?

Thanks in advance-
 
Do you have automatic processing turned on for these resources?

Hi Milly - Yes, I have set these accounts up under "Tools / Options /
Calendar Options / Resource Scheduling" with the following settings
checked off:

"Automatically accept meeting requests and process cancellations"

"Automatically decline conflicting meeting requests"

Thanks
