Microsoft Outlook Calendar Graph API delta is not returning deleted events?

I'm currently using the Microsoft Graph API to sync calendar events to my local application. It seems to be working fine, except I don't seem to be able to retrieve deleted events. I'm following the instructions for the delta query as laid out by Microsoft here. Those instructions specifically say "By using delta query, you can get new, updated, or deleted events in a calendar view," and in the examples there is an event in the sample response that is deleted.

In my testing, however, I am never able to receive any deleted events. I create an event and call /me/calendarView/delta?startDateTime={start_datetime}&endDateTime={end_datetime} and I can see the event. Then I delete the event, make the same call, and the response is empty. I've tried using the deltaToken call, just to be sure I'm getting the events that have changed since my last call, and it does return the deleted event as expected. But I would prefer not to use that, as it requires that my start/end dates always be the same.

Am I just completely missing the point of the delta call, or am I doing something wrong in calling it?

You can only obtain deleted items using /delta queries. When calling /calendarView it will give you only the current calendar, not previous iterations of that calendar.
