How do you delete all your data permanatly from iCloud?

My friend just experienced syncing problems, some of his calendar to dos and other appointments simply would not show up, he brought his iPhone over and what do you know, i found out he had iCloud on and syned all his private data with iCloud, basically the world, and he is a public figure.
Now what i find more interesting is that he says he never set up iCloud or wanted to use becuase of fear its in a cloud, can be hacked, and that he disagrees how apple wants access to all his private files., this is true regardless of words used to assure users to go ahead and put anything online.
Now he wants to erase everything possible, he also is seeking an attorney to let him know what happened to investigate a possible hack here, since he never set up iCloud at all or knows how.
Does anyone know how to erase iCloud data at least from the user end?

If you are seeking to take legal action about anything, the last thing you do is post it on a public forum.

Hi turintest2
Thanks for taking the time to respond - however your reply didn't really help as you haven't explained how to delete the compilation album that had been created.
I managed to sort it out by doing the following (I'm posting this so that it may help others). I don't know if this is the simplest/most elegant solution - but it works.
In iTunes, find the compilation (in my case, the 153 songs) and, starting with the first song, follow this procedure:
On the iPhone go to 'Songs' and scroll down the list until you find the first song that was listed in iTunes (above). You should notice (as in my case) that the song will have the correct title (and artwork too if you'd found this previously before making the compliation) but the wring artist.
Swipe LEFT and press the 'Delete' button.
Repeat with second song in iTunes list, deleting the individual songs from the iPhone, one by one.
Although tedious, this seemed to work for me. Reason for doing down the iTunes list is that it is in a pseudo-alphabetical order and I wanted to make sure I'd got every one.
Now busy re-importing the original albums from CD.
Thank you APPLE for making this such a laborious process. Why can't designers actually TEST the products they design so that they can appreciate first-hand the likely problems?
Anyhow, thanks turintest2 for trying to help me - it was appreciated.

How can I delete all of my information from iCloud...permanently and forever...without deleteing anything from my iOS device?

After all of the buzz surrounding the iCloud hacking incident, I went to see if anything was on my iCloud account and found that, contrary to all of the settings I applied when iCloud was originally launched, it had somehow managed to get all of my contacts, my reminders and my calendar. Since I do not trust any technology's security, I try to minimize my risk by minimizing where my information gets stored. I was shocked to find that iCloud actually had my all of this informaiton even after I'd been very intentional to never allow anything to be sync'd to the cloud.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Create your own user account on your computer, open iTunes, log into your iTunes account on the iTunes Store then sync your iPhone.

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

Hi Cynthia! If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete. Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF). Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE. You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone! Hope it helps!

Yes in the sense many members who posted the question dont have the basic courtesy of closing their threads with proper comments as to which suggestion has helped them nor do they reward appropriately.
did you already know all the answers by experience
Yes definitely, only with the experience you can guide the members in a right path.
how long did it take to achieve that
Couple of years

There is a checkbox on the 'info' tab in iTunes that will allow you to overwrite the address book on the phone with the one from the computer on the next sync.
