If you have a question, why not simply ask it *HERE*? Why post it
somewhere else and then beg people to go find it?

This page is toxic waste.
My browser refuses to open it even when I accept imgur itself.

Why not just use the access you're provided in the Finder?

When using access via the Finder one doesn't really appreciate the size
of the vast cloud which sits above us. I wanted to show this graphically
so that readers recognise that erasing one's internal hard drive does
not entirely 'clear the decks' as it were.
Any malicious code could be hidden - in plain sight - in one's iCloud
Drive, only to reappear again once the clean machine connects to the Internet.
Does that make sense to you? Please have a think about this and then
discuss.
Thanks
Can you see the image of my iCloud Drive - here?

Rod replied to a thread you are watching at Mac-Forums.
Apple iCloud Drive query - can you help, please?
Starting at the beginning you asked, how did the things
(folders/documents) in your iCloud Drive get there?
When I go to my Apple ID in Apple System Preferences I see the below image. Screen Shot 2022-08-29 at 8.07.46 am.png
Note that iCloud Drive is ticked and Optimise Mac Storage is not.
On the right of iCloud Drive is a box marked "Options" when I click that
I see the window below.
Screen Shot 2022-08-29 at 8.17.30 am.png
As you can see this is a scrollable window, there are a lot more items
ticked below what you see including Pages, Books, Garage Band and System Preferences but note I do not have Desktop and Documents ticked.
The resulting iCloud Drive Folder accessed from my Finder looks like this;
Screen Shot 2022-08-29 at 8.46.31 am.png
It is, essentially an off site (cloud) storage space where I can store whatever is ticked in the iCloud Drive Options window, anything I choose
to store there from either the Save (to iCloud Drive) box or in the case where the Desktop and Documents Folders option is ticked in the second
screen shot, anything you save to either the Desktop or Documents folders.
None of this data is accessible by a third party, only by you via your
Apple ID and password.
Have a look at my screen shots, is this how your iCloud preferences are setup, if not how are yours different to mine?
Addit; iCloud Drive is like an external hard drive in that you can
delete files or drag them onto your desktop or into another folder, it's simply off site private (encrypted) storage space. Nothing goes into it unless you choose to put it there, either by selecting an option in preferences or physically dragging it into the folder and, no one can
access it but you.

My real-life friend, who lives near Bristol, had been banned for asking
that question. Sad. :-(
Has anyone else had 'problems' with over-moderation on the mac-forums site?

Are you sending your dl'd stuff to your iCloud acct.? Did you drag those >>> things that are shown in your imgur image *out* of the iCloud Download
folder so they'd be visible where they are? I ask because you often
don't tell the whole story (which raises red flags), that, and I can't
think of an alternative that would've cause this unless you placed them
there.
As I understand it, your 'stuff' is stored locally unless and until
there is need to offload it to cloud storage.
I'd like to believe Apple hasn't changed anything in that respect.
