That , what will happen, if you disable "Desktop and Documents" for iCloud Drive.

Before you do that and disable "Desktop and Documents" on iCloud Drive in the System Preferences, drag the files and folders from the Desktop and the Documents folder to a folder in your Home folder, that is not on iCloud Drive. I'd create two folders "Desktop Local" and "Documents Local" in the Home folder and drag the documents there. That will remove the items from iCloud and store them locally on your Mac.

Once the Desktop and Documents folder in iCloud are empty and you have the local copies on your Mac, you can disable the option in iCloud.
