iCloud wiped my Calendar

I have a Mac Air using High Sierra 10.3.6.

I must have unchecked "Calendars" under iCloud earlier this week in attempting to free up space in the avaricious iCloud.

Today I noticed that my calendar has been completely wiped.

I attempted to recover it using Advanced iCloud settings, but it reported that I had NO archives, which is preposterous.


What now please?

In system preferences > iCloud if you uncheck the box of calendar the calendar syncing will stop , once again check the box for calendar the calendar will start syncing ( noticed over the calendar application a bar loaded very fast stating uploaded calendar to server account and vanished ) .


It depends what way have you signed in with Apple ID , if Apple ID address and password is same as gmail address , and in system preferences > iCloud the Apple ID is signed in and calendar box is always checked the syncing is activated and whatever events you had created in the server account ( it could be with gmail server or in the iCloud server ) they will always be inevitably there , you must have not crossed the designated iCloud storage space it could be free 5GB or you had purchased a storage plan .

The excessive data that was used through calendar from the iCloud server won't stay , only the data that is within limits will again sync .

Its not a rule that only calendar occupied most of the space , some other application might also have consumed the data like photos , notes , mails , iCloud back up ..


You can reduce the iCloud storage space see some articles https://support.apple.com/kb/PH12790?locale=en_US

If you keep calendars in Internet accounts — for example, iCloud, Yahoo or another CalDAV account — you can use the accounts in Calendar on your Mac, and access all your calendars and events in one place.
