Removing files

I down loaded files to my iOS Sierra desk top and it shared it with my Mac Pro laptop. How can I delete the unwanted files from my Mac Pro without removing the files from my desk top?

Hi lzimm1962,


This could be happening if the Desktop and Documents folders are being synced with iCloud Drive. You can turn off this feature using these steps (at the bottom of the article): Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support
