iCloud Drive in Mac Finder

Hi,

In 'Finder' on my Mac, I'm using iCloud Drive.

I'm trying to organise all of my files into useful folders etc.

The problem I'm having is that other folders seem to be there by default ('Pages', Numbers', 'Downloads', etc).

I have tried to delete these but they seem to reappear.

Is it possible to permanently remove these folders so that I can declutter my iCloud Drive?

Thanks!

MacBook

Those are default folders and are, at this time, not removable.

However you aren't forced to use them. For example you can indeed put Pages documents in a different folder of your choosing.

Hope this helps.

Ah OK, good idea. I’ll move them into a different folder so that they’re not cluttering my Finder home screen.

Thanks for your help!
