Where did my documents and desktop go when logging out of iCloud? I've been using a different Apple ID on my MacBook Pro than my usual ID (for work reasons), but decided to move everything to the same Apple ID. I logged out and...my documents and desktop were gone. I know some of them synced to iCloud, so I can get them off the website, but I had more than 5GB in there,  so many files didn't sync, and I didn't care to upgrade because I just wanted to keep it local. Did it delete my files, or are they tucked away somewhere where I can retrieve them from?
They are synced to the other Apple ID. All information in the iCloud is stored there and logging out of an Apple ID will take all the information away with it.
To retrieve them, I suggest logging back with the ID and copying them to the local machine. Log out, and log into your new Apple ID.
There’s no other way around it. Apple is very strict about information stored in the iCloud
