Thanks for your reply. The freebusyurl file was created again this morning when I booted my computer. I didn't add a new contact of any sort.

I've been using Kontact. If I can't solve these problems I'll see if I can use the stand-alone address book. In System Settings>Personal Information>Contacts there are two entries: Akonadi-resource Personal, set as standard; and Default Address Book. Both have check marks beside them. The Default Address Book points to ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf Might this be causing the problem with Contacts? That is, not being able to edit locations or add new people to my Contacts list?
Thanks for your advice,
