iCloud and Finder Issues

Hi, I currently have a Macbook Pro 15" (Late 2017, Touchbar) and I haven't had an issue at all with it up until now.

I was messing around with my iCloud and somehow managed to wipe everything on my Desktop...

I have tried everything - tried to turn off iCloud (basically freezes there)

- tried going to options

Also my Finder is "Not Responsive" and it just would not relaunch...

I have even tried accessing Time Machine but since Finder doesn't work it's basically pointless...

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

iCloud doesn't work on my new MacStudio, causes Finder to hang. Just migrated from a 2018 iMac to a Mac studio. Finder just hangs, completely unusable. Only works if I turn off iCloud Drive. iCloud and Finder still work fine on the old iMac. If I relaunch Finder it continues to hang, and the only option is a hard reboot. Other apps on the Mac Studio are fine provided the data is not kept on iCloud, but if they are that app hangs as well. Help please. MacOS 12.3.1.

Logged out/in of Apple ID, now my iCloud is empty After logging out of my Apple ID because there was a notice in Sys Prefs > Apple ID that I had to do so to reactivate something or another, when I logged back in, the iCloud Drive on my computer is completely empty — even though when given the "If you turn off iCloud Drive, all documents stored in iCloud will be removed from this Mac" pop-up during logout, I selected to "Keep a Copy" the files in iCloud Drive. The files are are still there at iCloud.com, but everything has disappeared locally (screenshot below). I can add files and folders to the iCloud Drive in my Finder, and they appear on iCloud.com, but everything else I can see on iCloud.com is not. The syncing-progress icon next to iCloud Drive in the sidebar shows maybe 2%, and does not change. When I mouseover that icon, it gives me an (i) info icon, but clicking it does absolutely nothing. (By the time I finished writing this, the progress icon had disappeared.) If I try go to Sys Prefs > Internet Accounts > iCloud and uncheck iCloud Drive, it tells me "iCloud needs to finish updating before being turned off" and shows a progress bar with maybe 1% progress — even though it's now been an hour since I logged back in. Any suggestions? 2020 M1 MBA 11.6.1

iCloud/finder problem Hello, I do not know how it started but I get a message "iCloud Drive may not work properly. Please check the iCloud preference pane. Couldn't communicate with a helper application", when I start my iMac, if I sign off iCloud everything is working perfect, but if I sign in and try to open finder then it crashes or it freeze for a long time.
