Error with icloud drive desktop sharing

Hi all, I accidentally set my desktop sharing to icloud drive, now it's uploading quite a few gb of files, if I try to disable it it removes all folders from my desktop. Do you know how to disable desktop sharing without making everything disappear from the desktop?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1

Turn off desktop and documents.

your old desktop and documents folder are kept in the iCloud Drive folder and replaced with new desktop and documents. You can then just move files from the iCloud Drive folders back to the intended locations.
