How can one remove a schedule from Shifts?

Hi @McClain, Ian, 

Good day. I hope everything is doing well on your end. 

Based on my testing, there is no separate option in the Shifts UI that allows the schedule to be deleted directly. In addition, leaving the Team does not automatically remove the schedule from view.  

Since Shifts schedules are managed at the Team level, and Team owners are the supported role for creating and managing schedules for the Teams they own, the best next step would be to contact your former Team owner and ask them to review the Shifts schedule from their side. 

They should be able to manage the schedule associated with that Team and help determine the appropriate cleanup from within Shifts. 

I understand how important this functionality is for your workflow, therefore, I recommend submitting feedback directly to Microsoft via the Feedback Portal to help prioritize this feature in future updates.

Shifts schedules are tied to the underlying Teams team. There is no separate “delete schedule” control in the Shifts UI; instead, the schedule is managed (and effectively removed) by deleting or managing the shifts within that team, or by removing the shifts programmatically via Microsoft Graph.

If the goal is to stop seeing a schedule after leaving the team, the only supported approaches are:

1. Remove or delete the shifts from the team’s schedule (requires appropriate permissions on that team):
   • Use Microsoft Graph to delete individual shifts from the team’s schedule:
     • REST API:

              DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{teamId}/schedule/shifts/{shiftId}
       

     • PowerShell (v1.0):

              Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Teams
              Remove-MgTeamScheduleShift -TeamId $teamId -ShiftId $shiftId
       

     • PowerShell (beta):

              Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Teams
              Remove-MgBetaTeamScheduleShift -TeamId $teamId -ShiftId $shiftId
       

   • Repeat for all shifts in that schedule. Once no shifts remain, the schedule is effectively empty.
2. If no longer a member of the team and do not have permissions, the schedule cannot be deleted personally. In that case, an owner or admin of the team must perform the cleanup (for example, using the Graph methods above) or remove the team itself.

There is no documented end-user option to hide or delete a Shifts schedule independently of the team when already removed from that team.
