How do i download steam cloud files

As my Skyrim character saves started to clutter my hard drive, I did some cleaning. Unfortunately, I deleted a few too many files I mistook SKSE files as save files , completely deleting certain characters. I have scoured the internet, but I cannot find how I look up what files I have on the Cloud. Is there a such thing as downloading individual files from the Steam Cloud, or does the syncing bit delete files from the Cloud?
