Can't close iCloud Drive Finder Window

The Red X icon doesn't close it, the yellow minimize icon works as does the green full screen icon. Close Window under Finder:File does not close the window, but it will close other finder windows. Rebooting did not change anything.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4

Finder sidebar Hi, custom-added items in the finder sidebar keep disappearing from time to time. This is not just happening with Google drives. Deleting the finder plist file in library/preferences folder may do something in the short run but it requires to set up finder anew and add back all items that were "forgotten" in the first place. This has been going on for years and happens several times a year -- very annoying. Why can't Apple fix this?

Recurring pop up window requesting iCloud signIn obscuring PC screen… First popup: large iCloud info screen showing storage (in the middle of my screen and it cannot be moved), then immediately by … second popup on top of it: demands “enter your password to continue using iCloud”. I enter my password, and it doesn’t work. Which leads to… third small popup: white box, with red circle with white X on it and an OK button. Pressing the OK button makes the box disappear, but leaves the other big boxes on the screen. Unfortunately, any documents I have open on the screen are covered up by this mess of boxes. And when I click to get rid of them, they will pop back up immediately. This repeats maybe two or three more times, but they eventually leave only to appear in about two or three minutes later. This makes working on my computer impossible and I am frantic about it. What can I do? Is it a virus? Is it a storage issue in iCloud? If it is a storage issue, how can I take photos or whatever out of the cloud if I can’t log into it? [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Personal Information]
