iOS is for Apple's mobile devices such as the iPad and iPhone. Those are just what they say as part of file name - macOS.

But yes, you can delete them if you want. Though you may want to keep copies on an external drive so you have them for future use.

I wonder if I could ask another question. When I try to open up my photo library I get a message that says, “This library contains items that need to download from iCloud photo library. To download the complete library delete the incomplete items then set this library as the System photo library in preferences and enable iCloud photo library. This will disable the iCloud photo library on any other libraries.” And then I have an option to delete incomplete items or quit what happens if I delete incomplete items what are incomplete items?
