Move items to your Mac and remove them from iCloud Drive

On your Mac, drag items from iCloud drive to another folder in the Finder sidebar or on the desktop, such as Downloads, Movies, Music and Pictures.
The items are copied to your Mac and removed from iCloud Drive on all your devices set up for iCloud. If you change your mind, you can drag items back to iCloud Drive.

Then you can delete the iMovie file from www.icloud.com and it will also deleted from iCloud Drive , but it's secured and saved in downloads folder .

Thanks, but I don't think that is helpful.

I have the file on my Mac's hard drive and do not wish that particular file (movie) to go to the cloud. I know there is a way of creating a folder on desktop that will be named in such a way that it does not go to iCloud. Can't find that info right now.
