Folders and Files disappeared from Finder and iCloud!

Hi,

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro (Sonoma) and after installed several software I realised that the folders that were on the Finder disappeared from the Mac and iCloud. I read countless forums and tried different option as well as third-party software to see if they are still in it, but nothing. I was a bit concerned that leaving the filed "only" on iCloud was too risky. After some manoeuvres the folders, ONLY, reappeared in the Downloads folder (even if it was not their path). Is there anyone can help me with this? One of the folder was a music folder (I am a musician and dj) and there are my last 15 years, and I would like not to lose it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Mike
