I have moved all the files located at "Documents" and "Desktop" folder to /home/tmp folder. Also I have deleted all the files in icloud.com, but whenever I check the iCloud Storage, it's still the same, not less.

  1. I'm making sure all files on icloud.com and local has been deleted.

  2. Storage size by local (MacBook):

  3. Storage size by icloud.com :

  • It appears some apps have documents stored in iCloud Drive. Click on the Manage... button to see what apps are taking up how much storage.

open system preferences and click on icloud. a new panel opens as shown below. click on the option button next to icloud.

After clicking the Option button a new panel opens. At the bottom of that panel is a checkbox to optimize mac storage. Make sure that box is unchecked. See 2nd figure below.

If the new icloud space doesn't look correct give it a few hours to update.

  • I tried to duplicate your problem and I found the same problem as you. I tried turning off iCloud and that did the trick. I don't know if I lost anything by turning off I cloud. So far all seems intact but that was only thirty minutes ago. When you turn off I cloud it gives you a message box but I didn't read it carefully. Sorry.
