I want to start a fresh install of Nextcloud, but even though I reinstall it, in new jails and everything, it still uses the same database nextcloud. So how do I remove it? Shell command?

How are you "reinstalling it"?

Are you destroying the existing one and creating a fresh jail? (no way for the database to survive that unless you had redirected the database path outside of the jail... and supplied that same path to the new jail)

I just click uninstall from the Plugins page and delete the jail. But it still uses the same database, like the Post Install Notes:

Database Name: nextcloud
Database User: dbadmin
Database Password: f4f0a3d7140ebf30
Nextcloud Admin User: ncadmin
Nextcloud Admin Password: ef0c5f0f6acbc86f

I changed the password for ncadmin and forgot it. Is there some way I can change it back, or just drop the database nextcloud?

Make sure once you delete the plugin the jail is also deleted which should take care of the whole install. Unless your database resides on another jail or other location.
