I can not see all my documents stored in my iCloud drive. However in the system preference it said "the documents stored in the top level of iCloud Drive folder take up 3xx MB. To free up storage, open iCloud Drive in Folder and delete documents." How can I be able to access/retrieve my stored documents? My store capacity is still below the storage limit.

Problem solved. Incidentally, I went to iCloud.com entered my iCloud Drive and clicked on Restore Files?. And there it goes.
Thank you for all helps and have learned from you. However have yet as to why they were all in there, though I never deleted them.

Do you have the folders and files in your Documents folder on your hard drive that you expect to be there?
If so then go to the System/iCloud/(click on Options)/Documents preference pane and make sure the Desktop & Documents checkbox is unchecked:
See if that will help.
That's great you retrieved files from iCloud.com , perhaps read this article https://support.apple.com/kb/ph21250?locale=en_US
