moving files from Mac to iCloud and deleting ONLY on the Mac I have files on my Mac that are seldom used but still useful. I want to move them to iCloud and delete them on the Mac. When I tried to do this, the files I deleted on the Mac also were deleted from the iCloud. How can I have them only on iCloud?

iCloud has deleted files in my Desktop (...kind of?) I'm a college student and have been using my Desktop hooked up to iCloud as an easy way to have all of my files on every device. Recently, in the time directly following a hefty build for my final project, my iCloud storage (200GB plan) filled up, and now the majority of the files aren't there when I open the folders on my Desktop. Weirdly, they still show up on my iPad and my iCloud drive on the browser. This makes me think it might be a problem with my Mac rather than iCloud— I also upgraded to the 2TB plan (which was going to happen eventually), but the issue is still present. Worst case scenario, I can redownload the files from the browser, but them existing on other devices suggests that would just duplicate them.

How do I move files out of iCloud? There should be plenty of storage on my Mac, so I have no reason to store files in iCloud. How do I move files out of iCloud? And how can I avoid having files stored in iCloud in future?

Yes. Unless you have the "Desktop & Documents" option checked in System Preferences ➜ Apple ID ➜ iCloud ➜ iCloud Drive [Options]. Anything outside the iCloud Drive folder in Finder is only on your Mac and not synced to iCloud.
