Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Go to Calendar App
  2. Delete the "Personal" calendar
  3. Refresh the view
  4. "Personal" calendar appears again
Expected behavior

Once a Calendar is deleted for a user it should not be automatically created again.

Actual behaviour

When the default "Personal" calendar is deleted, it is automatically re-created.

As I cannot define a default calendar other than the personal one, creating a new appointment goes by default to this one instead of the shared one that I want my users to use as default.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the deletion and refresh flow in the Calendar App using the reported Nextcloud 28.0.5 and Calendar 4.7.4 versions, then trace where the Personal calendar is recreated. Done means deleting Personal does not recreate it after refresh and creating an appointment no longer forces that calendar; add or update a regression test if the existing test setup covers this flow.
