How do I delete files from iCloud but NOT from my Macbook?

I unchecked the box that says documents and desktop from my system preferences in iCloud, but it keeps trying to upload my whole computer and gobbling my entire cloud. If I turn off the cloud it erases ALL my files.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.4)
