How can I delete all my documents in iCloud Drive?

I started using iCloud drive on my PC, but it has got in a complete mess syncing the files. I want to delete all files and start again. If I try to delete them on iCloud.com I can only delete a few files at a time (if I select too may it gives an error "there was a problem deleting XYZ please try again later" which is very tedious). I have unlinked my PC and all my apple devices from iCloud drive.

Having the same problem same as this one:
Installed "Arc-Media" S/W was automatically installed on iCloud Drive, after connecting, with USB, to an older Kodak camera. Did this in order simply save just a few (10 pix) to iCloud.
The Arc Media files, from the program somehow got stored on iCloud drive too. Here's the kicker. When I tried to delete these files from iCloud Drive, somehow, some Network drivers and adapters for my PC's WiFi were deleted or corrupted with them. I lost all ability to log-in on my Wireless Network!
My wirelss provider could not troubleshoot since the problem was not with their Network; it was with my PC's sudden loss of Railink Network Adapters. It took 5+ hours on this PC reinstalling them from an "HP Manager site".
Therefore, my question and concern is: HOW do we delete "program files" unintentionally installed on an iCloud Drive, without affecting or losing other System Files? Do we need to completely "uninstall" and "re-install" iCloud Drive on a PC? If so, will I lose the photos/videos already stored?
Also, can someone--ANYONE please, post a single link to go to, without having to muddle through tons of other links, just to COMPLETELY UNINSTALL iCLOUD DRIVE?

Are documents in iCloud Drive included in Time machine backups

Are documents in iCloud Drive included in Time machine backups

Are documents in iCloud Drive included in Time machine backups
Yes, they are, and the current Yosemite version 10.10.2 makes it easy to find them in Time Machine. Just select iCloud Drive in the Finder, before you enter Time Machine to restore documents. Time Machine backs up the local shadow copies of your iCloud Drive documents, that are stored in your hidden user library.

DANGER: Turning off iCould Drive DELETES documents on your local drive and terminates access to those documents on iCloud Drive

So, I wanted to move about 40 GB of my documents to iCloud Drive. I do so. The upload is very slow -- 3 days 24/7 with no end in sight. There's no status report available to know what the progress is. Internet service at work and home slows to a crawl. In frustration, I turn off iCloud Drive in Sys Prefs. HUGE mistake. In addition to losing access to the documents on iCloud Drive, which I expected, turning off iCloud Drive either deleted the original documents I'd moved to iCloud Drive, or deleted the map which, through iCloud Drive, I could view them in my /Library folder.
I think I can regain access to them on my "original" device (the device I used to move the documents to iCloud Drive in the first place), but I also think that requires the same glacial, bandwidth-hogging sync that moved them to iCloud Drive in the first place.
I had current Time Machine backups but, having lost access to the documents on iCloud Drive, those TM backups are now accessible only back to the files before I moved them to Cloud Drive and, of course, include none of the files I've created in those folders since moving them to iCloud Drive.
Has Apple really turned over software engineering for these sorts of new features to its most hateful competitors? iCloud Drive is a joke.

First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

How to I access documents in icloud drive from my iPad

I set up an icloud drive on my PC and stored my document. i have icloud set up on my iPad and iPhone. I can seem to figure out how to access those documents from the iPad or iPhone. I thought there might be an icloud app for access, but no.
Any help out there?

Sorry, I do not think rereading is any good. The fact is: I do not see what I "should" see.
I have checked that both on IOS and Mac I use the same icloud account, both have iCloud Drive enabled. On the Mac I have e.g. a custom folder "History"
On IOS, in Documents 5 by Readdle, after tapping icloud in the sidebar and then the iCloud Drive text, I see this: (in list view, alphabetically arranged):
So, my "History" folder does not show up at the "H" and not at the end.
I thinks there is still a fair bit of iCloud related "should's" that do not materialize in practice.
For example, this same History folder is 1.11 GB in size, and when I added it a few months ago, not all files were synchronized (I checked after a week!).
You never get a positive signal that all files have been uploaded. Thus far, iCloud leaves me with that same shaky iDisk feeling of 2007!

Pages not saving documents to iCloud drive

After the latest OS X update I was no longer able to save Pages documents to the iCloud Drive, which meant I could not access those documents on other Apple devices (iPad, iPhone), nor could I save documents created on an IOS device to the iCloud Drive. Contacted Apple tech support and the problem has been elevated to the iCloud engineers. Hope to have asolution in a few days (or sooner).

VikingOSX, many thanks. What you have outlined is good to know. Easier and faster than converting and saving an original.
Now, something further. If I transfer a .doc document this way to iCloud, does the .doc document get converted, automatically, to a .pages document? I ask, because my reading here and there suggests that .doc documents get converted to .pages when they are put on iCloud, although it may be possible to retrieve a document put on iCloud in its original Word format. The somewhat older .doc documents that I have kept, and put on this Mac, have tables and formatting that may be slightly disturbed if converted to .pages documents - which is why I've left them alone so far, and not put them on iCloud. And I can send them out as .doc originals.
But iCloud is a great system/concept, and I'd like to use it for these older items as well. Of course, these .doc documents can remain on my Air as such, and I do do regular backups.
In any event, many thanks for your help.

Collaborate on numbers document in iCloud drive?

Is it possible to collaborate on iCloud drive documents? My wife and I need to be able to both edit a numbers spreadsheet from our respective iOS devices. How do I do this? Everything I try seems to just make a local copy rather than editing the one in my iCloud storage.
Thanks!

For collaboration I think you need to be using the iCloud version of Numbers (in your respective browsers) and be signed into the same iCloud account. Haven't experimented with it recently, though, so that may have changed with Yosemite.

Storing Pages 09 documents on iCloud Drive

An update of a book in progress using Pages 09. It works fine for me, and I can't use later Pages 5.5 due to the lack of "facing pages". Will iCloud Drive accept the document (Pages 09) without converting to Pages 5.5?

It should. Do a test by duplicating the document and upload that file to iCloud Drive. Although I don't understand why you want it in iCloud Drive.

Just sent all my documents to iCloud, now cannot open them in iCloud without buying new pages update. anybody else experiencing this?

just saved my documents to icloud now cannot open them without buying newest version of pages software. Is this for real??

Thanks! I had both versions of pages.....was using the old one..yikes!

ICloud Drive Sync Problems on Mac OS X Yosemite

Hello all,
I have been having issues with my iCloud drive for many months with slow syncing and documents being outdated. Typically a restart would solve the problem but it seems that it has gotten worse lately. Especially after purchasing the 20GB plan and starting its use heavily for work and personal.
The problem seems to be sporadic where the Sync takes several hours to complete. I am not sure what's the best way to identify the progress of the Sync, but I know that some of my files are out of date when I get home after working on them all day in the Office. I have been trying to solve this problem by restarting my laptop or iMac once, twice, and three times until the bars show up and the sync actually starts. If I don't force the sync by restarting the documents are never updated.
This morning, it has got really bad and I ended up signing out of my iCloud on my MacBook Pro, restarted, and then logged in again to iCloud drive. Its been hours and only a portion of the documents have been synced, the rest are basically stuck...I am not sure whats the best way to debug this problem and fix it.
I have gone through the basic debugging steps, so checking that I have the right ID, restarted the Mac, etc are all tried and many times. I need a serious set of steps to debug this problem. I am a fairly accomplished power user and have been using Macs since the late 80s.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
My problem continues with no solution - I narrowed down the issue to the following:
1) When I open the lid of my MacBook Pro and go to iCloud, the cloud icon with a down arrow appears on all the new files that need to be synced
2) The files never download or update
3) Performing 2 or 3 restarts kicks the sync process off
Interestingly, on my work MacBook Pro and my iMac this issue doesn't exist. So it seems there os something on my MacBook pro that is causing the sync to get stuck.
Any ideas what to check?

ICloud drive folder asks for mac password

Hello everyone,
I love to use iCloud for everything but now since iCloud drive it's security is really bad. When I try to save a pages file or when trying to export it, finder does not give permission to do so. Even though I give my password. And when making a folder or uploading files on the drive it asks for my password. And now I got rid of this folder and moved it towards my documents on my mac. Even now this folder it keeps asking me for my password. How can I correct this? I am getting real frustrated.

Exact same issue for me... AT&T model 4S... Fresh 7.0.2 then OTA 7.0.3... Wife has exact device and done all OTA since first it was introduced and she never has issue...
Can't seem too find a fix and don't really wanna fresh 7.0.3 too lose everything...

I have denied all access to the hard drive on my i mac what can i do to be able to use it again

I have denied all acess to the hard drive on my Imac I purchased a refurbished imac about 6 months ago and im still not really familiar with every thing as i used to use a windows computer so ill try my best to describe what i have done. On the desk top it had a hard drive icon I open it. There was a section about allowing access. There were three different ones (now Im not exactly sure but i believe it looked something like this
System     Read and Write
                Read only
               Write to drop box
User
                Read and Write
                Read only
               Write to drop box
Shared     Read only
               deny access
I then changed the bottom one to deny access, the middle one to write to drop box and then the top one to write to drop box ( I quickly realized how stupid this was) It then wouldn't let me do or open anything. I ended up turning it off by pressing the button on the back of the I MAC. When I turned it back on it asked for my password which i entered, then it went to the screen with the apple in the center and the loading icon underneath and has not changed.
What can i do so i can use it again?
I think it was OS 9.5.? I dont really know and cant even access this info anymore

in the folders on the left your will have your mail account and local folders.
Anything in local folders is stored only on your local hard disk.
* Right click the mail account. Select settings
* Select copies and folders for your university account
* Click archive options and select the type of structure you want the archive in. (keep existing folder structure would be important to you think)
* in the copies and folders, change the archive folder to other and select the archive folder for local folders (the local folders account entry in the list will expand if you hover the mouse over it)
Now some other points. ''
* Holding shift while clicking select everything in the list between clicks. Holding Ctrl while clicking will hold the selections and allow other entries to be toggles on and off by clicking them.
* Ctrl+A will select the entire list
Finally''
Pressing the A key when mail is selected archives it.

Icloud has disappeared from my mac what should i do

Icloud has 'suddenly' disappeared from my Mac. What should I do

Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) may help.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then check System Preferences > iCloud

All my email on iCloud just disappeared on all my devices

While reading my email the screen refreshed and all the email in my inbox was gone, I tried my iPad and the original email was there for about 1 second and then it too disappeared. How do I get back my email?

Have a look in the trash bin. Are you sure that not you or someone else with access to your computers/devices accidentally deleted your emails?

All my mails in iCloud suddenly disappeared from the inbox at about the same time that my email account was apparently hacked. How can I retrieve those mails?

Even if I logged in and choose mail, my old emails all disappeared and new ones just does not appear at all

I have also changed my password in the meantime
