Lost Documents Folder in Finder after iCloud sync

Guys, I'm in a bit of a panic here as I've lost my Documents Folder from Finder after I tried to sync it with iCloud.

The process I followed was:

System Settings / Clicked on my name / iCloud / iCloud Drive / Desktop & Documents Folder.

I then changed my mind as it did not give me an option to select specific folders, so I unchecked the Desktop and Documents Folder option.

Now I've totally lost the documents folder on Finder. I urgently need this. How can I retrieve it please?

Finder>Go>Go to Folder>copy & paste:

~/iCloud Drive (Archive)

iCLoud Drive (Archive) - here you should find all your files

Than you Leroy for your reply. I am now breathing again as I've retrieved my documents from Archive. But now I cannot add or drag and drop documents to the iCloud folder on Finder.

iCloud Drive is now off in settings as I don't want to sync all the folders from my Mac to iCloud, but I want to add select documents to iCloud like I did before all of this mess happened.

See if there is anything here—
