You can't move files directly from iCloud.com to an external hard drive connected to Mac , you need to set up iCloud Drive https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204025

And then follow the article https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mchl027f1d66/mac

Thank you, for the link. Sorry, I should have been more specific with “removal” — I meant, I wanted to transfer those files out of the iCloud and on to an external hard drive, for example, but not necessarily delete them unless I’m able to relocate/transfer those files out of the iCloud first. Is that an option? Please advise.

Thanks again.
