How to remove downloaded copies of photos already sync'd in iCloud. Need local storage on MacBook Air

Looking to install the newest OS 11 beta but I need to delete all local photos and keep them all in iCloud. I turned on optimize photos to keep full res on iCloud but that didn't clear enough space. Photos take the most space on my MacBook Air as I don't have any apps or any else.
