system update 12.6.9 dumped a bunch of files on desktop

Yes I was in a hurry to get to a zoom meeting after the system update. I don't know what I clicked on but now my desktop is populated with zillions of files - I guess from my Icloud? Any idea what I did or how to proceed?

Not really. Try Edit > Select All and then choose File > New Folder with Selection (xx Items)


That will at least move all the files into one folder where you can examine them without cluttering up the Desktop.
