Misled by iCloud to delete my data Hi, so I was trying to get my calendars to sync via iCloud but I had to free up storage. I was doing all this through my MacBook Pro on finder. The device itself had instructed me that to delete anything in my iCloud storage that I would have to enable it on my device. I did so, went to the iCloud folder and proceeded to delete the contents. For some reason it took all my documents and desktop folders and permanently deleted them. I went to apple advisors via chat and phone and they were unable to help. I’ve lost a lot of ableton and pro tools sessions I desperately need back. Nothing is in the iCloud data recovery, even though I followed an advisors instructions to pay for more iCloud storage (a waste of my money). How can apple allow items in the iCloud folder to affect the entire local device? This is not okay and apple is denying accountability. I understand I may have made some user mistakes, however the device instructions were painfully misleading. I have resorted to 3rd per data recovery software but it seems it cannot find my recently deleted files, even though my local hard drive space has not been freed up. How do I retrieve my files?

Lost all my data due to iCloud windows application. So, i installed icloud on my windows PC (though microsoft store). Logged in using my apple id. It prompted me to sync icloud Drive in c-drive, but i changed the location to my d-drive, which had about 200GB worth of files. It started to sync, but i stopped it in between cause of some internet issues. I went back to my d- drive to find out that it's completely wiped. Would appreciate any help as there were some important files on the drive that needs to be recovered.
