Dear support, how do I delete any Moneydance data files existing in iCloud after selecting to stop syncing with my iPhone ?

    Almost impossible. To delete:
    - enable iCloud sync - launch toolbox extension. Top right. Open md folder. Open sync folder. Keep this open in finder. - now disable syncing and close MD - now in finder delete the folders.

    Thank you very much for the quick reply.
    Followed your instructions but no result.
    When I open MD from my iPhone I receive a selection screen (att. IMG_1)
    Then I select iCloud and get IMG_2, that shows that exist md files in iCloud.

    Best regards,

    Stuart's instructions are for performing the process from the desktop computer.

    Yes that clear, I am performing them from my MacBook, but it’s  not deleting the file in the iCloud.

    I'll have to leave answering that to someone familiar with iCloud.

    Once you delete from computer then the Mac will sync the changes back to the cloud. It’s how it works.

    So go to iCloud Drive in finder and make sure it’s fully sync’d
