Need help desperately!
I enabled, more of curiosity, the feature Store Documents and Desktop files on iCloud and as didn't like the idea anymore I reverted back to keep the folders and files on my Mac.
The problem is that now the two empty folders CANNOT be deleted from iCloud. I delete them and within a second are back in iCloud... No idea what to do, the Sync is off but cant kill the beasts...

Hi tylercw,
thank you for advice!
In the meantime, I also found a workaround. Instead of deleting folders in iCloud, move them to Mac and then delete them. The folders won't be automatically restored anymore.

hey croircred142,
i enabled this new feature too, and i also quickly became tired of the confusing location of my user folders. i was able to delete the old `Documents` and `Desktop` folders from iCloud by using the "Delete Immediately" keyboard shortcut:
Option-Command + Delete
here's an article about how to use the command if you need more guidance:
