When you use icloud, calendar and contacts are sucked into the icloud and stored in a new data file format, accessible only by the icloud. If you remove the iclud addin, the appointments and contacts are still in the icloud but not in Outlook.

When you quit using the icloud addin you need to copy the stuff back into the Outlook folders. My preference is to open the Icloud folders, select all and use the Copy to folder command (copy, because I still want them on my device) before signing out. Alternately, you can sign out of the icloud and let the icloud copy them back to the Outlook folders - choose the 'make a copy' button when you sign out.  (I prefer to do it myself.)

If you choose the manual, do-it-yourself method, use a list view in the calendar.

The tutorial at http://www.slipstick.com/tutorial/merging-two-calendar-folders/ shows how to do it.
