Remove Documents Folder From iCloud, but Not Mac

I want to remove my "Desktop and the Documents folder" from iCloud but not from my Mac. I found some info that said if I go to System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive options, then uncheck "Desktop and the Documents folder" that, that would do the trick. The problem is when I did that I was given this warning: "If you continue, items will be removed from the Desktop and the Documents folder on this Mac and will remain available in iCloud Drive." I don't want anything removed from my Desktop and the Documents folder on this Mac. I want to keep all that's in the Desktop and the Documents folder on my Mac only and not on iCloud Drive. Can someone help me with this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.3
