Delete an online meeting, and confirm that it is really gone.

Deleting kills the join link; recordings and transcripts that belong to the meeting are removed with it, so use this to clean up demo or abandoned meetings. By default the script creates a throwaway meeting and deletes that, which keeps it safe to re-run.

Permissions

Requires the delegated permission OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite.
