Deleting Items from Shared Calendars

If Outlook/Exchange shared calendaring is set up, and the person managing the calendars is unable to delete an item, the following registry change will fix the issue.

Office 2010:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\General\DelegateWastebasketStyle needs to be set to 8 instead of 4

Office 2013:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options\General\DelegateWastebasketStyle needs to be set to 8 instead of 4

This ensures that the items being deleted get moved to the correct Deleted Items folder, as opposed to attempting to move it to the Deleted Items folder of the calendar owner.

Hint: To identify the currently logged in user, mount the registry over the network, and look for the SID that has a subkey of "Volatile Environment"
