A day ago on my iPad Pro 9.7 I dragged

A day ago on my iPad Pro 9.7 I dragged & dropped a 2 gigabyte folder onto the iCloud Drive in Folders. The 206 files in it seem to have successfully gone through the upload cycle but none of the files are displaying the cloud icon. So apparently they're still taking up space on my device (I trashed the original folder). Why no cloud icons? Thanks!

Please fix folder drag from SD card to iCloud on iPad. On iPad, dragging a folder from SD card to iCloud Drive may take a long time, and may fail. There is no progress meter. Sometimes I get an “insufficient storage”, though I have 1.5TB available. Please fix this.

I have a number of folders stored in the documents by readdle icloud folder- my intention of keeping them there is to make sure that they remain on the phone's internal storage and are always synced with the cloud something strange happened though and the folder contents (148images) have been removed from my device, they still show as blank icons in the folder, and they still exist in the cloud- they are just not downloaded to my device when I click on any of the blank icons, it says DOWNLOADING... and then after about 20-30 seconds the image appears How can I force icloud to download ALL items within a folder so that I do not need to wait for each one to load individually? Right now I cannot even see thumbnails without downloading

where is my recently deleted folder Trying to upload a school nativity video. 40 mins long. Created it in iMovie. But it says can't upload because of storage on iPad Pro is full! I've just bought more iCloud. I just want to upload the video. Desperate for help. Today is the only day. I don't know if my iPad Pro has backed up stuff, if that's the case shall I just delete all the phones etc to free up storage. Also, where for the love of God is the recently deleted folder. I've gone into Albums but there isn't a folder called recently deleted. I'm thinking I may need to delete the deleted stuff to help create for storage? I really appreciate any help.
