iCloud drive archive

There is a folder on my Mac called "iCloud Drive Archive". What is this? Can I delete it?

macOS Sierra (10.12)

Did you mean "Sign Out" in system preference? I was prompted with "do you want to save ..." when I clicked on Sign out in iCloud session of system preference. I did not mean to remove my normal iCloud Drive, nor did I want to have a strange 'icloud archive' folder created for me . I came here for solutions to iCloud syncing problems. More confused than before.


Hours wasted (not by you or your tips, but by Apple's crowdsource approach to problems)


Apple needs to fix this confusing button and other inconsistencies. Should address the issues directly and consistently. This is not a place for opinions, or try outs, or guessworks. No time for that.
