Removing local music files and relying on cloud hosting
I have an Apple Music subscription and I am using it for managing my music collection, i.e. my mp3 and other music files, that I had before subscribing to Apple Music.
I'm in need of disk space and would like to remove the local music files for my collection, while still being able to retrieve them in the future. I already have a backup of them; what I want is to rely on the cloud where they are hosted -- if I'm right. I have two questions:
- Is my collection fully in the cloud and will be retrieved when needed?
- How do I delete the files? Going to "iTunes Media" with Finder and delete the files? Or is this what "Remove download" is for in iTunes?
Thanks in advance,
MacBook, macOS 10.15
