How do I delete the photos in my photo library on my computer and maintain the photos ONLY in my phone and on icloud?

You would have to isolate your Mac from iCloud and My Photo Stream, i.e. disable the iCloud Photo Stream and the My Photo Stream on your Mac.
Do you have "Optimize Mac Storage" enabled. If you do that will require additional steps. Let us know if you have it enabled.
Hey there Thank-you-i-am-so-confused,
You mentioned wanting to use iCloud to sync photos with your Mac, and we'd like to help.
The steps for doing this are above your post, but here's the link again just in case: Set up and use iCloud Photos
Keep in mind that when deleting photos from any device that has iCloud Photos set up, any changes/deletions will sync with iCloud and from there, sync with the rest of your devices. This is expected behavior, and is the way most content that syncs with iCloud behaves.
We hope these details help. Take care!
