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.

This first paragraph was helpful.
I did it, and removed some of the files that iCloud was storing using the additional articles.
My calendar seems to be back.
However, I don't really understand the rest about signing in with a username or an email.
Should that matter?
Also, I attempted to trash a number of document folders. For some of them, I got a message to the effect that they were shared (it didn't specify where).
I was worried that if I deleted them, it would also delete the shared versions (wherever they might be).
Is iCloud that sneaky?
Thanks!
iCloud wiped my Calendar
