In the Files app, tap the "<" icon (upper left corner) several times to return to the main Browse window, tap ⋯⃝ , choose Edit, turn off iCloud Drive and turn it back on. This may remove the faulty iCloud Drive folders in Favorites.

If you are not storing documents in the “On my iPhone” location, you could try to delete the Files app and reinstall it from the App Store. That should reset its presentation. (If all your documents are on cloud services, they will still be available after reinstalling the app.)

Tried this several times but it didn’t work.
