Lost data on outlook 365

My connection to gmail got cut off for an error. Per some advice I removed my gmail from outlook and then attempted to redo the connection. I do now have email folders in outlook but not my contacts, calendar data or tasks. I assumed my 365 version kept all this data in the cloud. How do i recover the contacts, calendar data and tasks? Thanks much

    In classic Outlook, only mail syncs, not calendar & contacts. If you had calendar, contacts, tasks in folders named “(This computer only)" and did not export those folders before removing the account, they are gone and cannot be recovered. Sorry.
