Islandora Defaults is no longer under active development, and is being deprecated. Its core purpose is being (and has been) superseded by a project to create an example Starter Site, which exists in the islandora-starter-site repository. You can read the announcement here.
To ease the removal of this module from existing installations, we have implemented a post-update hook which should remove any references to this module from configuration entities that it installed. To make use of it, it should be sufficient to update to the islandora/islandora_defaults package in your Drupal project such that it includes the new hook, and to run it. On the CLI, this might be effected as something like:
# Navigate to the root of your Composer project; for example:
cd /var/www/html/drupal
# Update islandora/islandora_defaults to "3.0.1" so that it has the post-update hooks
# available.
composer require "islandora/islandora_defaults:^3.0.1"
# A caveat exists in that, if `islandora/islandora_defaults` is required by any
# other Composer package, then those packages may have to be updated first; for
# example, it is known that there exist Drupal installation profiles that
# specify a dependency on `islandora/islandora_defaults` (such as https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/islandora_install_profile_demo/blob/181a53bb230d7ced6e70e7746f0da567216ebbf7/composer.json#L157),
# which would likely have to receive a treatment to strip out any references
# from their configurations which explicitly bind to `islandora_defaults`
# similar to our update hook, and to include updated requirements accordingly
# in the root Composer project.
# Clear cache (paranoia; to ensure the update hooks are appropriately
# discovered).
drush cr
# Run the update hook.
drush updb
# Now that our config entities should stay behind, the module itself should be
# fine to be uninstalled. Note that this should/may also result in the
# uninstallation of the islandora_oaipmh and islandora_search modules; though,
# the configurations they included should remain in the system.
drush pm-uninstall islandora_defaults
# Perform a dry-run removal to list out all that would be removed, when
# islandora/islandora_defaults is removed, as some modules may only be included
# transitively.
composer remove --dry-run islandora/islandora_defaults
# Add back some of the modules that might just be included in the project
# transitively, for example:
composer require "drupal/field_group:^3" "drupal/field_permissions:^1" \
"islandora/controlled_access_terms:^2" "islandora/islandora_mirador:^2"
# However, in the event that you indeed are not using some of these modules, you
# might instead proceed to ensure that they are uninstalled from Drupal, similar
# to the "drush pm-uninstall" invocation above. For the version specs to use, it
# may be useful to refer to what the our `composer.json` specifies.
# Remove the package from the project entirely.
composer remove islandora/islandora_defaults
# Clear the caches, for cleanup/paranoia.
drush cr
# Restart your webserver to register the movement of islandora_mirador from
# submodule to a module in its own right; otherwise, caching of class
# definitions might lead to errors. The command might look something like:
sudo systemctl restart apache2With output in context, what this might look like
This was executed on a revived standard instance of islandora-playbook, with
some very minor preparation to work around the fact that the update hook code
did not yet exist in released code (and so had to point at the development
branch (dev-fix/config-enforcement) and made use of aliases accordingly (
[...] as 3.x-dev)). When running post-release, the version spec ^3 should be
used instead.

Islandora Defaults is a Drupal feature intended to showcase all of the functionality of a full Islandora install. It provides custom content types, contexts, viewers, and other 'starter' configuration the reflects a baseline Islandora site. It is expected that you will take these defaults and customize them further to fit your use case.
Islandora_defaults is a Drupal Feature. See Drupal documentation on Features for more information.
Islandora_defaults is itself a set of configurations for Drupal. It can be further customized by customizing content types, actions, and other aspects of Drupal that are configured by islandora_defaults.
