Which iCloud service are you referring too?
If you are asking about iCloud Drive, the answer is "No".
iCloud Drive is used as a central storage for updating documents across all your devices. Deleting from your device will delete from iCloud.
If you want iCloud documents removed from your computer, but stay in iCloud, yu first have to disable iCloud Drive on your computer. But then you can no longer access the documents on iCloud Drive from that computer.

Mar 13, 2015 9:04 AM in response to léonieby Gentry McColm,Question: if I move an existent folder from my Mac into iCloud Drive, will it automatically upload the contents of that folder, or do I have to do it piecemeal? Reason I'm asking: I did move a folder over, and then went to iCloud.com, and looked in that folder, and it said it was empty. Thanks

When you move a folder to iCloud Drive, it will upload the contents of this folder to iCloud Drive, but it may take a long tome, even for small items. You may see progress bars, while the contents is uploading. And the folder may look empty, until it will be updated from iCloud. For example - shortly after adding the folder "neueBilder" to iCloud Drive.
