I got a message saying I needed more memory so I signed up to iCloud. Now all my documents have disappeared. How do I get them back and get rid of iCloud?

More storage, not more memory. If you were using iCloud Drive, sign in to iCloud.com using your Apple ID. Then, look in your Document folder and click on the Recently Deleted tab at the bottom right of your screen. If there are any document there, you can recover them easily. Do the same with your Desktop file. In each case, after recovering them use this document to get them to your Mac Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud
