Where have all my files gone?

I turned on iCloud Drive on my Mac Monterey 12.5.1 and I can't find any of my files. My Document folder has nothing in it except an Adobe folder. Where has it all gone. I'm panicking here. I need to find my stuff!

iMac 27″, macOS 12.5

I feel the problem is somehow related to iCloud Drive & WebKit.WebContent - High CPU Use.


But I'd recommend... Uninstall CleanMyMac per their directions , then run etrecheck again to see what chaff it left...

We need to look into your crashing.


We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...


EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
