Hi guys I'm fairly new to Mac. My iCloud storage is full and it's because my desktop is backed up to the cloud. I tried unsyncing but it deletes the files from my desktop. Is there a way around it? Thanks in advance

Technically your Mac is not “backed up” to the cloud. Time Machine cannot save backups there.
Instead, you almost certainly mean you’re storing your Desktop and Documents folders in iCloud Drive.
See “Turn off Desktop and Documents” here.

yeah but when I try to do it (turn off desktop and documents) it delete everything from my desktop. how do I unsync around this?
From the article I referenced above:
Need to stop syncing iCloud Drive without losing important documents and files from the desktop
