My cloud storage is full so I downloaded some important files from my personal cloud onto my desktop. I was just wondering, when I delete the files from my cloud will it delete the copied files off my desktop storage too? I wanted to try but it says it would delete my files and not send them to the recycling bin so I wanted to make sure first because these files are really important to me.

Hi, I'm Elise, a fellow user like yourself and I'd be happy to help with your issue.
If you are using OneDrive and it is setup to sync with your Desktop, if you delete the files from the cloud it will also delete these on your PC, or if you delete from your PC it will delete from the cloud.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
Kind Regards,
Elise
