Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aluxnimm/outlookcaldavsynchronizer/issues/451

With

Outlook 2016 (and maybe also 2021 and others)
Google Contacts
CalDav Sync Vers. 4.5.0.0

after sync there additional backslashes before colons and quotation marks in the memo (and other) fields.

For example,

Name: Müller "Heinz" -> Name: Müller "Heinz"

You see these backslashes only in Outlook.

It occurs when the contact is synced from Google to Outlook.
