See the Apple Support article(s) below.


Towards the end of the article are instructions for getting the files back on your computer.


Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive.    


Photos and videos - download iCloud

I now have a real mess on my hands---It took subfolders and loose documenbts but ignored the main folders under which they appeared. In addition many of the folders and documents note Zero bytes. Can I delete the iCloud Drive on only my iMac and reload withlout losing content accessible on iCloud Drive from my PC?


This should not be this difficult, I suspect. But this is where following the directions on Apple's page got me.
