How do I force Photos to Optimize Photos with iCloud?

My Photos library is 150GB on both my Air and in iCloud Drive. How do I force the optimize feature. I have no space left, but the size never changes. I am unable to install Big Sur, because of only having 9GB of space.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14
