No, you have it completely wrong.  My desktop is NOT included for sync 
in my iCloud.  I have three folders connected to iCloud - desktop is not 
one of them.  I use iCloud sparingly and for very narrow purposes where 
files are concerned.  (Where notes, reminders, calendar and so on are 
concerned I've never had an issue)

Further, even if my desktop _were_ sync'd to iCloud, dragging those 
folders into a folder on the desktop should not see them disappear.

Finally, a similar thing happened some weeks ago.  I attributed that to 
being my fault at the time.  Now I know better.
