Editing/Deleting Calendar Events without notifications

We have an Outlook365 integration, which posts events to calendars from an external system via the Graph V1.0 API.

In November, a little bug has snuck about 2,000 events into various peoples calendars over the coming 12 months. We have managed to produce a list of the 2,000 odd Outlook IDs, but we are now super-worried that if we pump in DELETE requests for them all, the attendees are going to get hundreds of e-mail/event notifications telling them "XYZ has been cancelled" or similar.

(this bug was detected when a user told us they had been getting occasional event invites at 4am, so we assume that manipulating events via the API does dispatch notifications/emails to the users)

Is this true, and/or is there anyway to delete the event from Outlook without a notification being dispatched? We do not admin the target calendar, but may be able to get in touch with such a person if it was possible to do this from the Outlook365 side. We were hoping there might just be a silent flag/attribute or otherwise we could put in our request?

As a side note, is there any limit to the frequency/volume we can pump at the Graph V1.0 API in any time frame.

Unfortunately this is not supported on Microsoft Graph right now.

It is available on the Exchange Web Services APIs using SendCancellationsMode SendToNone enum https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.sendcancellationsmode?view=exchange-ews-api

I would really appreciate it if you could request this on Microsoft Graph Uservoice so we can have signal from our community the demand for this. https://microsoftgraph.uservoice.com/forums/920506-microsoft-graph-feature-requests
