Deleting iCloud contents locally I haven't really ever intentionally used iCloud; however, upon browsing ~/Library/Mobile Documents, I noticed that I must have unintentionally saved several files to iCloud.

Unfortunately, I can't remember any of my password/security credentials--or even the email address--I provided when I set up the facility. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I'm not going to be able to recover any of these credentials (unless somebody provides some untried suggestion), rendering the account pretty much useless.

As a result, I'd like to remove all documents saved in error to iCloud. Can this be done locally without the credentials?
Will deleting files from ~/Library/Mobile Documents delete files from iCloud too or just locally (on my MacBook)?
Deleting files from Mobile Documents will delete them from iCloud if you are currently signed in to iCloud and the Documents &amp; Data service is active.

If you are not currently signed in, you can delete the files to reclaim local space but this will not delete the files from iCloud.
