I presume the entries get added each time a contact is found with a birthday. Once that addressbook is deleted, the entries aren't removed, so adding and removing addressbooks leads to stale information. How can I remove the additional entries/refresh the contacts birthdays calendar?

There is a occ command allowing to resync the birthday calendar:

Thanks. I ran the command and unfortunately that didn't remove the duplicate entries, the good news is it didn't add any either.

If I delete the calendar, does running that command recreate the contacts birthday calendar or do I need to manually do that myself?

Thanks again for the help.

OK, I answered my own question.

Deleting the contacts_birthday calendar via the web interface, then running the occ command that kljhlkhglklfgh pointed me to recreated the birthday calendar with a single entry per person.

Thanks!
