[Solved] Akonadi doesn't start, InnoDB Complains...

Hello,
Recently, my Kalendar app (along with the other KDE apps like KMail and KAddressBook) stopped worked, so I checked the Akonadi Console. It seems like the main issue is shown in the error log (abbreviated below due to irrelevant info):

2022-03-29 17:56:04 0 [Note] InnoDB: Starting crash recovery from checkpoint LSN=33145356,33145356
2022-03-29 17:56:04 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: invalid undo header offset 0
2022-03-29 17:56:04 0 [Note] InnoDB: Retry with innodb_force_recovery=5
2022-03-29 17:56:04 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Plugin initialization aborted with error Data structure corruption
2022-03-29 17:56:04 0 [Note] InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
2022-03-29 17:56:05 0 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error.
2022-03-29 17:56:05 0 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed.
2022-03-29 17:56:05 0 [ERROR] Unknown/unsupported storage engine: innodb
2022-03-29 17:56:05 0 [ERROR] Aborting

The problem seems to be that there is "Data structure corruption" in InnoDB, but I have no idea how to fix this. Is there some way I can clear this "data structure" and give InnoDB a fresh slate?
I'd also like to note that the "Akonadi server self-check" says that the Akonadi server and control processes are not registered at D-Bus and that No resource agents are found.
Akonadi has given me many problems with MariaDB and those other default components in the past, so if there are simpler, less-complex alternatives to the default setup, I'd be happy to learn of those as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
