Unfortunately that didn't work. I tried the following:

pkg shell "delete from packages where name='nextcloud-php80-23.0.3'"

pkg shell "delete from packages where name='www/nextcloud'"

No errors, but pkg info -xo still showed:

# pkg info -xo nextc
nextcloud-php80-23.0.3         www/nextcloud

next, tried the pkg sqlite shell:

sqlite> delete from packages where name="nextcloud-php80-23.0.3";
sqlite> delete from packages where name="www/nextcloud";
sqlite> .quit

same result.
