Post-icloud blues.....I have erased my Documents and Desktop from icloud (30 days wait etc....) but now anything I save to Desktop appears in Finder/Desktop, but does not appear on my Desktop screen -there must be a connection.....
Thanks
Nick

Hello,

Did you also disable  > System Preferences... > Apple ID > iCloud Drive > Desktop & Documents Folders, or just delete the files in iCloud?

Thanks, Cory, yes, Desktop & Documents Folders is unchecked, presumably disabled.....however, If I enable this, doesn't it mean that icloud will once again start storing anything I save in Documents? I had to empty the icloud because it was full and I don't want or need any extra storage....I have downloaded my Documents from icloud - so they are safe on my computer, but there is no Folder on icloud called Desktop....
