It isn't possible to clear everything on the phone and have the data only on iCloud. The following discusses both iPhone and iCloud storage. Note that the major thing that may help with your iPhone storage is the Optimize Storage option in iCloud Photos. See the "Free up space on your device" section of: About storage on your device and in iCloud - Apple Support
