Go onto settings then onto your Apple ID then choose iCloud and turn off syncing between photos onto the iPad that you don’t want the photos to be on. They will still be on iCloud but not on that ipad

Hi Jade,

The only way to delete the photos from the iPad completely and keep them in iCloud is to disable iCloud Photo Library on the iPad. The photos will then remain in iCloud when you remove them from the iPad. But you can no longer use the Photos app on the iPad to access them. I think that this what you want.

To disable the iCloud Photo Library (Do this first before you delete the photos on the iPad) on our iPAD go to Settings, tap your account name, iCloud > Photos, then turn off the switch for iCloud Photo Library.
