New desktop and documents files in iCloud Drive

Hello,


I just made a mistake and enabled desktop and documents files in iCloud Drive. I managed to disabled this option in the settings but now I'm left with 2 new files that won't go away in the Drive. When I try to delete them it directly come back in.


Also, my local files desktop and documents (not the one on iCloud) have been renamed and are now called "desktop - local" and "documents - local".


So, I would like to delete the files on iCloud drive that won't go away and have my local files have the default name because I can't rename them manually. I already disabled the "save documents and desktop on iCloud Drive" option.


Thanks in advance.



MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.4
