On my Mac Mini (late 2014) upgrading to El Capitan, I found it slow so followed community advice to delete log. Perhaps because of that, or some other cause, I lost all entries on Notes and most entries on Calendar. Some are in iCloud. How can I retrieve all missing entries on Calendar and Notes?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Actually, using El Capitan OS.
What did you delete?
The Log file, per suggestions in Apple Community re. El Capitan slow. Thanks for asking. Now what should I do to get my Calendar and Notes back? I do use Time Machine and have an external HD, but I think one or both update based on current Mac and may therefore delete anything not current???? Can I go back to a date prior to upgrading to El Capitan and find everything either in Time Machine and/or iCloud and/or my external HD with iDrive?
Deleting a log file should not delete and system files like Notes and Calendar.
If you go to icloud.com in a computer browser, and sign in, what is shown in Notes and Calendar?
TM only deletes old stuff when it runs out of storage on the TM disk.
For getting Calendar from TM see:

Notes are not available from TM backup for Mountain Lion or later
Time Machine, iCloud, Notes, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders
Please sign out of iCloud in its preference pane and then sign back in. No data will be removed from the servers, and you can retrieve it by signing back in. That said, you should always have a current archiveof the data for safety's sake, even if you don't sign out.
If you use iCloud Keychain, when you sign back in to iCloud follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set it up on an additional device.
