You would still have to delete the data from iCloud and in order to free up space in your account. This article provides suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

@icloud.com email is a big scorer too.
if you have many, many emails on icloud.com.
you probably should delete some of them or forward to a different email address you have. and afterwards delete those mails to have storage released
iCloud Storage depends mainly from iCloud Backup of iOS Backups, Mail Storage, Documents in the iCloud
contacts, calendars and notes are mostly not that big for storage as you might think.
music, apps and purchased items from itunes / appstore are not involved for calculation of icloud storage and they are not included in iCloud Backups of your iOS Devices.
