Reply to comment by gdbjr in iPhone users who uses iCloud, have you ever accidentally deleted your data such as contacts, reminders, notes, calendar or any data linked to iCloud? by CaffeineDose
Sounds great but the question is how to update the data in iCloud to make sure when I merge local data with iCloud it reflects the most updated data not to bring older data. My main issue is that I enabled iCloud and then it replaced current with old and so deleted the current data because iCloud wasn’t updated.

If it were me I would first make sure iCloud sync is turned off from every device I have. I would also make backups of my data where possible.
Second I would pick a single local device and make sure it has all the updated info. (How you do that I don’t have good suggestions)
Next I would log into iCloud.com and delete anything up there so there won’t be a merge, just a fresh sync
Finally I would enable iCloud on my primary device and once I confirmed it was working I would then enable iCloud on any other devices.

Will turning off iCloud delete local data?

If you disable lets say disable calendar from using iCloud, you will get a pop up with options:
Keep Data on iPhone
Detele Data on iPhone
That should be the same for the other apple apps like contact and reminders.
