iCloud storage

My phone, when deleting photos, will say ‘delete photo immediately’ because my iCloud storage is full - however, it isn’t full because it says on my phone I have only used 2GB of 5GB

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

iCloud and iPhone storage issue Hello! I have 2TB on my icloud and it’s not full yet, but 41GB of my photos take up space on my phone. The main issue is that whenever i delete something, let’s say 5GB, i won’t have the 5GB freed up from my phone, but taken up by my photos. How should i clean my storage if it doesn’t matter what and how much i delete, my photos will take up the free space till my phone is full again. I checked it, it is supposed to be connected to iCloud, and my photos are synced there but still about 20% of them take up space on my phone. I’ve been having several issues due to my phone being full. I have deleted apps, but whenever i delete something, my photos take up its space. Please help me find a solution for photos using phone storage instead of iCloud. If it was like 10GB I’d be okay with it, but 40GB is a bit too much. Thank you for your help!! Have a nice day!
