Remove contacts and calendar dates from the Minix (after adding Google account)

Hi there, as far as I understand it was necessary to add one Google account to my NEO U22-XJ to get all available app updates and to be able to install new apps from the Play Store.
When I added my Google account I chose not to synchronize apps with my phone because, well it would be completely pointless. But still it did automatically synchronize contacts and calendar dates, which was only possible to deactivate later in account sync settings for this device.

Even with sync deactivated, the contacts and dates are now saved in my Minix and I would like to remove them without removing the Google account. (Afaik even removing the Google account will leave the contacts and dates saved on the device.) I'm even getting calendar notifications and other Google notifications like weather and news on the Minix now which I really don't want to see there but only on my phone.

Was it a bad idea to use my main Google account? Maybe it's better to create a new extra account for the Minix, even if I am the only user.

Where do you see your contacts and calendar dates?

Afaik you will only see them if you have installed the Contacts app and the Calendar app!

In that case I would clear data for both apps.

For safety reasons it is better to use a new (specific) google account for your minix.

You also can set a password (similar to windows OS, when the device is booting).
