Q: iCloud photo library still storing images on mac on optimise

I have set my iCloud photos app to the following settings on my mac and all images have uploaded to iCloud. It gave me a notification saying that there was not enough room on my mac to store my images (however previously I had "download to mac" checked and photos library was 177GB). Now I have noticed that my library is 178GB. I expected this to now be zero. I need space on my mac as I only have a 500GB flash drive. Can I simply delete the library file as all images are stored in iCloud?

 

I am fully backed up with Time Machine.

 

Thank you in advance
