Deleting Outlook events sends a lot of emails

This may just be a case where I’m unfamiliar with the way Outlook works, but is there a way to delete an Outlook event without sending a bunch of cancellation emails? Does the Microsoft/Outlook Delete Event API have sending a whole bunch of cancellation emails built in as part of its functionality?

I’m asking because our use case involves someone creating a multi-day, multi-event itinerary, and if they were to decide that the published itinerary (for which a calendar is created and attendees have been invited) wasn’t quite ready yet and wanted to unpublish the itinerary (delete the calendar and events), it sends so many cancellation emails. Is this normal?

It seems unnecessarily tedious for the attendees to have to tell their calendar to delete the many events they had been invited to. for Outlook to send a cancellation email for every single event? Is there a way to make the Outlook-to-Outlook experience more seamless and silent like we can with Google-to-Google invitations?
