Improving MacPro Storage by Deleting Music

If I delete music off of my MacBook Pro, will it delete it in my iTunes account.  

Will it delete it on my iPhone? 


MacBook Pro 13", OS X 10.11

Hi 95cougar,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities. It's great to have you here. I see from your post, you have some questions about how to delete music from your Mac.


Are you currently using Apple Music and have iCloud Music Library enabled on all your devices? If so, when you attempt to delete an item from your Mac, you will see a prompt in iTunes stating that song will be deleted on all your devices. You can choose the option to Remove Download and that item would be stored in iCloud but not on your device.


Delete music, movies, and TV shows from your device


Kindest regards.
