Deleting photos without deleting from iCloud without turning iCloud off?
I need more space on my computer. My photos are taking up nearly half of the space. How do I delete the photos without deleting from my phone? I don't wish to turn off iCloud. I've already optimized as much as I can. I'd like to be able to view them in the Cloud without them downloading to my computer. From what I have looked up if I turn off iCloud, delete all the photos, and then turn it back on my photos will be deleted from my phone. Can someone clarify and give me a good option?
