I don't understand why I still have 55.24 GB "Documents" in iCloud (see attached screen shot).

I had a folder "iCloud Drive" on one of my Macs and deleted everything that was in the folders Desktop, Documents, and Downloads and all other files and folders that were in the folder iCloud Drive. When I now log into iCloud with a browser and go to iCloud Drive I see the 3 folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads), and when I open them they are all empty.

I also deleted - directly in my iCloud account - everything that was in "Recently Deleted" - this folder is as empty as Desktop, Documents, and Downloads.

I have signed out from iCloud on all of my devices (2 Macs, iPhone, iPad).

What the heck are the 55.24 GB "Documents" still occupying space in iCloud, and how can I get rid of them so that I can start fresh?

Please note that I am only concerned about the orange Documents - the other colors are stuff like photos, backups, messages, emails, etc. and completely fine.

Help would be greatly appreciated!
