Hi Kilur,
Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. You currently only have the option to select all desktop and documents folders to be backed up to iCloud. However, you can delete the files that you don't need. You can see more about this here: Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Store your files in iCloud and save space on your device
The files that you keep in iCloud Drive use your iCloud storage. And as long as you have enough space in iCloud, you can store as many files as you like.
If you need more space, you can delete files to free up space in iCloud. When you use iCloud Drive and delete a file on one device, it deletes on every device that you're signed in to with the same Apple ID. You can find deleted files in the Recently Deleted folder in the Files app or on iCloud.com for 30 days. After that, they're removed.

Regards.
