Basically, my date and time picker display a default date. how can I make it empty until it is clicked on.

It’s not a default date but it showing a placeholder until they pick something. Try editing the Style and seeing if placeholder could be removed or made transparent or something.

If you want to be sneaky, you can make the placeholder color the same color as the input’s background.
