Check for iCloud storage plan!

If you do have one, it constantly syncs the entire computer which includes Desktop and Document folders. Instead try creating a "Local Files" folder in your Home folder(command+shift+h) and keep your Playground projects there, where it doesn't sync to iCloud.

This worked for me.I hope this works for you as well! :)
