Lost Documents Folder in Finder after iCloud sync Guys, I'm in a bit of a panic here as I've lost my Documents Folder from Finder after I tried to sync it with iCloud. The process I followed was: System Settings / Clicked on my name / iCloud / iCloud Drive / Desktop & Documents Folder. I then changed my mind as it did not give me an option to select specific folders, so I unchecked the Desktop and Documents Folder option. Now I've totally lost the documents folder on Finder. I urgently need this. How can I retrieve it please?

Accidentally deleted my iCloud document folders - how do I restore? Missed rule #1 - double check before hitting delete and emptying my trash on my MacBook Air. I thought that I was clearing an external disk drive and didn't realize that I was actually in my iCloud document storage folder. I deleted a decade of documents and lost them when my trash folder cleared. I can see the documents and folders when I sign into iCloud, but can't download any documents or folders and can't see anything when I access my folder on my computer. Is there any way to recover these folders/docs? Thank you!//
