….I just want to be sure I can restore the deleted files either from my Time Machine or Super Duper backups.
The files can be restored, but they'll just be deleted again if you restore them to the same place they came from.
Why should that happen after I have I have indicated, by signing out, that I do not wish to be connected to iCloud anymore? It seems to me that any further poking around on my machine after the disconnect is invasive.
I ask because, before going through the process of storing the files in a different location and then signing out, I ran a quick experiment. I put the Calendar files in Documents and then opened Calendars using the icon on my desktop.
I thought this would establish that the route to the Calendar files was now to Documents rather than the Library. However, my machine simply established a new Calendars file in Library, except that it was totally blank. I was able to put the new file in the trash and re-establish from a copy.
Was my understanding of the process not correct?
I am concerned that Apple's apparent wish to invade my privacy will leave me in a situation where I am constantly having to restore files.
