Make sure iCloud Drive and desktops and documents box is turned as on Use iCloud Drive to store documents on your Mac and iOS devices - Apple Support

Note : if personal documents / folders are created in hard drive first transfer those files and then right click on them and delete ( the hard drive space will be reduced ) .
