If you want to completely delete *everything* in iCal and the Address Book, delete these files:
(Warning this erases data!!!)
1. Turn OFF all sync services in Entourage preferences
2. Quit ALL Office applications (including Daemon)
3. Quit Safari, Address Book & iCal and all applications synching through .Mac (Transmit, Yojimbo...)
4. Use Activity Monitor to quit SyncServices
5. Delete the contents of ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/
Optionally: if you want to replace all data in the system Address book and iCal with Entourage data, delete all iCal & Address Book Data Files:
~/Application Support/iCal/*
~/Application Support/AddressBook/*
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal/*
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/*
7. Open the .Mac System preferences and make sure .Mac synching is enabled
8. Restart all applications that sync to .Mac (Safari, Address Book, iCal, etc.... and Entourage).
9. Turn ON Sync Services in Entourage preferences.
