[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1951940, member: 396914"] Try this: Go to icloud.com, then log into your icloud account with your appleid and password. One of the panes in the display will be for iCloud Drive. Yo can select that one and see the list of what is there. If you are certain that you have everything that is listed there on your Mac, delete them until you have all of them gone. The rest of your discussion about tokens and needing space is the result of having, at some time, turned on Optimize storage on your Mac and sending the files to the cloud. Then you turned it off, which leads it what you now see in Finder, but the files are still there in the cloud. I suspect they are also sync'd to your iPhone, at least as dataless files, but that doesn't matter as when you delete them from iCloud they will also disappear from the iPHone. [/QUOTE]
