I recently reorganised my iCloud Drive files and folders on an unstable internet connection. After decluttering many files and folders, I found out there are two folders that keep reappearing in my Trash folder. They both have the iCloud download icon next to them. No matter how many times I delete them, they come back. So far I have: - Sign in to iCloud web, empty the Trash from iCloud Drive. - Used a command in Terminal to empty the trash. - Sign out of and in my Apple Account on Mac. - Changed my internet DNS to resolve potential issues. And none of them have worked. I'm frustrated.
