Before clicking submit: Please check if your query is already addressed via the following resources:

Summary of the issue you are facing:
Installed fresh Nextcloud server yesterday (2025-12-31). Did not install the Calendar, Contacts, Office, etc apps. Very basic installation, just file server essentially.
During the install a Contact named Leon Green was created (shown in the Activities app). His birthday seems to be 1st January, born in 2000.
I would like to remove Leon Green, but I did not install the Contacts app, so there is no obvious way of removing the entry.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-
Install a fresh Nextcloud server without the Contacts or Calendar apps.

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response
- Use the
preformatted textformatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
