How do I fix iCloud Drive stuck uploading and blocking file access?

My iCloud drive has been uploading for MONTHS and it's clogging up access to my files. I've tried to click through the files, delete files, move files, break connections, nothing works. It just sits there and hangs in the last little chunk never to finish...

I think you missed the part where this has been going for months. It never goes away, it never clears, it never names anything in progress, it just stays like the picture shows and it drags everything down. Across different networks it on my hotspot.

Please don’t feed me bandwidth BS or drive space or try to sell me OneDrive. I came to the Apple forum bc it’s an Apple issue.
