Zoom meeting deleted but still active?

Hello, 

I deleted a zoom meeting recently but can still access it? Its not a recurring meeting, or a personal ID meeting, and ive deleted it also from recently deleted folder. However im working with an API that is still saying the zoom meeting is active - indeed if I put the details in I can actually join the meeting, even though i’ve deleted it! Any ideas? 

many thanks

Chris

    Hi ​@christopher01,

     

    We’re glad to have you here. Welcome to Zoom Community!
     

    Once a Zoom meeting is deleted (and also removed from the Recently Deleted folder), it should no longer be accessible or appear as active. However, if your API still shows the meeting as active and you can join it, this may be due to a delay in synchronization or a caching issue with the API.

    Try the following:

    • Refresh or re-sync your API data.
    • Log out and back into your Zoom account and the API client.
    • Wait a short period, as sometimes deletions can take a little time to propagate across all systems.

    If the issue persists, you may want to check if the meeting ID is being reused elsewhere or if there’s a duplicate in your API’s data cache.
