Hi there.
Recently i uploaded 50 gb's of my photos to my iCloud storage, and decided to open Photos app on my mac, i was thinking that it won't download all photos to my mac, now 50 gb's of my local storage is taken by photos and i don't know what to do. Only option i have now on my mac is to 'Use iCloud to upload them' again but my photos are already on my icloud!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
In the Photos app on your Mac, go to Photos Preferences, click iCloud in the bar at the top of the Preferences window. Is "Optimize Mac Storage" selected there?
Also read the fine print there -- photos are only optimized if the Mac is low on space.
Note that Apple does not offer cloud-only storage for Photos.

Thanks for reply! It wasn't selected. I selected it and it asks me to upgrade my icloud, due to not enough space to upload them there. But my photos are already in icloud. Is it possible to delete app or photos without deleting them from my cloud?
How did you get your photos to iCloud in the first place; i.e., from what device(s) and by what method?
iCloud Photos on mac are taking my local storage
