Description
(From discussion at https://github.com/thunderbird/appointment/pull/768)
We should create and show a new error message if a user denies a booking, but for some reason our system can't remove the HOLD event. (Whether they've already removed it on their end, or there's an api error removing it.)
Right now it removes the appointment from the Bookings tab but displays the invalid link error.

Research direction
Start with the discussion in pull request 768 and trace the booking-denial flow that removes a HOLD event and updates the Bookings tab. Identify where the invalid link error is shown when remote removal fails, then define a distinct error message for that case and verify both the already-removed and API-error scenarios.
