Could you provide a sensible report about how the various files which
you showed in the icloud drive came to be there? Nevermind about the
etre; I'm talking about everything else.
In your honesty, you can remember how you came to touch those files,
which touching resulted in their getting into the icloud drive.
By 'touch' here I mean 'handle' (view, play, create, copy, dl, move,
etc) in some way; the touch command in linux has other specific meaning.
I have learned much about the Apple iCloud in the last week or so!
This is how *I* see the iCloud when I open my 'Finder' window:-

I don't recall ever seeing it before! Finder is not really a facility I conciously use but I MUST have added items because I found files dating
way back to 2005! During day-to-day use I invariably use icons on my
'Dock' to get where I'm going.
I knew that the iCloud was working away in the background, the main
benefit to me being that a photograph I take on my iPhone is accessible
on my iMac and iPad Pro almost instantly if I'm within a WiFi
environment. I run a Time Machine back-up facility on an external hard
drive and have never been particularly interested in what was happening
in the cloud.

I know you'll raise questions, so I'll stop now.
