These folders / subfolders and related .plist are dragged and dropped to the trash .

Also if the app is in download folder it is moved to the trash .

Restart the Mac from apple logo and empty the trash .

What do you see is downloading in iCloud Drive is it finder side bar , you can also use malware bytes anti malware for Mac , sometimes enabling a root user account then scanning the system with help of malware bytes removes malware ( but that is to be done in a very rarest case ) .
