How to see all my files uploaded to creative cloud?

Question

I am trying to use Lightroom (instead Lightroom Classic) and I am very confused how this cloud service works.

First I tried to use Creative Cloud app for Windows 10 to upload files into the cloud. I entered "files" then "your files" and there is "no documents in the cloud" (I use Polish version, not sure about translations). So I tried to use plus icon to send some RAWs. But the result is that file type is not supported.

Then I found in the menu that there is sync folder C:\Users\Jacek\Creative Cloud Files, so I just copied my RAWs there. Then I clicked on the cloud icon and saw that files are syncing. 3.6GB is synced. But I can't see them anywhere! Not on my phone Lightroom and not on PC Lightroom.

So instead I used Lightroom, I clicked "add photos" and imported my 3.6GB files. Now files are visible both in Lightroom PC and on my phone Lightroom. Still Creative Cloud app says no documents. But, there is another problem. Now cloud uses 7.1GB storage, so files are uploaded twice.

I tried to remove my files from C:\Users\Jacek\Creative Cloud Files, hoping they will be "unsynced" but nothing changed, still 7.1GB is used. The problem is that I don't where where these files are in the cloud. How to display them to remove them. I can only see files I uploaded into Lightroom.

So how this cloud service really works? What's the way to display all shared files?

adobe's cloud service is confusing. ie, it's not just you.

there are several different parts to adobe's cloud service and the different parts are unrelated to each other and have almost no unifying principle (other than they have something to do with adobe's creative cloud).

the only part that's easy to understand (and works the way most people expect) is the cc sync folder. unfortunately, adobe's ending that service in the next several months.

here's basic info: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/about-cloud-documents.html

then for more info go here and check the beginner (if applicable) tutorials for cc useage and then advanced, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/tutorials-explore.html

and to see all your files, use a web browser to navigate to the following locations. at each location there are several folders/links to check.:
