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.

The best way is just to never touch it. Leave iCloud on all the time and let it do its thing.
Second stop thinking that your data is in iCloud. It really isn’t. It is on your devices and iCloud is just syncing that data across your devices. So my MacBook is the keeper of that data. So if for some very odd and unusual reason you want to turn of syncing data you need to make sure that your primary device has master copy then you can turn of syncing. On all your devices.
Most iCloud data will ask you if you want to kelp the local copy before turning it off, so just make sure that device has all the updated data first.
Then should you smartly decided to reenable iCloud you start turning it back on from your primary device. It will sync up then you enable iCloud on your other devices. I have done this a few times switching between apple and google and I have never lost anything.

Been using iCloud since it was a thing. I have never accidentally deleted data. I have intentionally deleted data when I spent a while with a pixel and didn’t want to pay for iCloud storage.

Doesn't sound nearly as good though. I have 3 OG and 3 minis and the minis are okish. I would call the big ones good.

Reply to Accidentally deleted Notes app, redownloaded and everything was gone. Synced gmail and iCloud accounts but only recovered notes all the way up to 30 days ago. All of the notes I made after those 30 days are gone, I need them back. Recommended software or techniques or anything is very helpful. by Supa_Dingus
How does one accidentally hit delete 3 times?

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.
