[mso] Linked to iCloud: Now Have Multiple Calendars and Contacts

I have been using MS Outlook (from Office Pro 2010) for Calendar and
Contacts on a PC running under Win 7 Pro. Everything was fine until I bought
an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air and decided to link the Calendar and
Contacts to iCloud. I thought it was just a back-up service that would put
one version of each in the iCloud and thereby allow all devices to access
the same Calendar or set of Contacts. 

What happened is that I now have multiple versions of both the Calendar and
the Contacts. I'm not sure why, or how this useful. 

I have these Calendars and there seems to be data in all of them:

My Calendars
     Calendar - Outlook
     Calendar (2) - archive
iCloud
     Calendar - iCloud
     Calendar 2
     Home
     Local Calendar

For Contacts, I have these. Like the Calendars, there appears to be various
contacts in all of these: 

My Contacts
     Contacts - Outlook
     Suggested Contacts
iCloud
     Contacts - iCloud
     Local Contacts
     Search results

What happened and what should I do?
