Is it safe to delete iCloud Drive?

Protected Not by removing it in Finder or a cleaner.

Your iCloud Drive files. Deleting them here deletes them on all your devices. To free space, use Remove Download in Finder instead.

Where it is

• ~/Library/Mobile Documents

What “Protected” means

Another app or a sync service manages it. Removing it breaks that app or deletes it on every device. ClearMac won't move it to the Trash, and tells you where to manage it instead.

How ClearMac handles it

ClearMac shows how much space it uses and explains it, but won't move it to the Trash.

This page is generated from the same rule ClearMac uses on your Mac (icloud.drive), so the app and this page always say the same thing.
