Going to advanced led to where I could undelete files but "select all" wasn't working with 2,345 files.

Or so it seemed, lag time in recovery resulted in error messages when the files actually were being recovered-- the interface timed out but the recovery was working fine.

Next time I need to make space on the MBP, Julie recommended I call for a tutorial.

I'm still unhappy with how iCloud gobbles up local drive space and need to take time to learn more about archiving away from iCloud unused files and folders and just be a better housekeeper that way.

And settings in iCloud, maybe not sync every damned thing!
