How to delete/remove iCloud from macOS 10.14.2 - I didn think 't HATED anything; but I do hate iCloud!

iMac macOS 10.14.2 - Not only did I NOT want to sign-up for iCloud, I feel that I was FORCED to use it.. Please advise if you can point me to instructions on exiting iCloud. If iCloud has posssession of my files, iCloud owns my files. I don't care to share files between devices. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
