Steps to reproduce the bug

After accidentally selecting: "Add contact anniversaries" from the main menu, an "Anniversaries" calendar is created. When deleted via Manage Calendars, it reappears after a short time automatically, even though there are no contacts with anniversary data at all.

  1. Tap the three-dot menu → "Add contact anniversaries"
  2. Go to Manage Calendars → delete the Anniversaries calendar
  3. Wait a few minutes
  4. Anniversaries calendar reappears on its own

Expected behavior

Deleting a calendar from Manage Calendars should be permanent unless the user explicitly re-adds it.

Actual behavior

The calendar is recreated automatically, presumably by a background sync/refresh process.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

  • Verified via ADB that the calendar does not exist in the Android Calendar Provider (content://com.android.calendar/calendars), it appears to be managed internally by Fossify.
  • No contacts with anniversary fields exist on the device
  • Device: Samsung / Android (non-rooted)

Thanks in advance!
