Migration from Mac to mac using migration assistant

After migration, I started deleting files on old computer and they also deleted on new computer. What am I missing?

Hi naB23,


It sounds like you're wondering about files getting removed from both of your MacBook Pros. If that's correct, the files may have been in iCloud.


Use iCloud Drive to store documents on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad


This could explain why files were getting deleted off of both of your devices.


Cheers.
