I want to delete messages from my MacBook but keep them in iCloud
I want to delete messages from my MacBook's local storage (they're taking up too much space), but keep them in icloud. For example, my iphone is setup to sync to the cloud, so only recent messages are stored on phone and the rest is on icloud. I want to do the same thing with my macbook.
My current macbook pro settings are to keep messages "forever" and I have "enable messages in icloud" turned OFF. I'm wondering, if I leave "Enable Messages in iCloud" off, and change keep messages to "30 days" if that will free up local storage, but that all my iphone imessages will still be backed up to the icloud?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
