How do I easily delete 3000 photos in iCloud but are not on my iPhone?

I have 3000 photos on iCloud that are not on my iPhone. I have downloaded all 3000 photos to my PC. So I want to delete these 3000 photos on iCloud in order to free-up space. But I can't find a way to do a mass delete on icloud.com. I can select multiple photos one-by-one by holding the CTRL key. But that is very time consuming, especially for 3000 photos. How can I quickly delete these photos on icloud.com?

using a trackpad select the desired photos ( move three fingers diagonally from top left corner to the bottom right corner of the trackpad ) the photos will get selected.

once the photos are selected , click on delete key on the keyboard , a pop up window appears click again on delete .

Note : selecting thousands of photos in www.icloud.com and deleting them is inconvenient , that's the reason iCloud photo library is set up .
