How do I delete keychain passwords from my mac without it removing them from my other apple devices?

I want to remove access to my keychain passwords on my Mac since I don’t use it anymore but they’re through iCloud and I’m worried that deleting them from my mac will also delete them from my other devices, is there a way around this?

Thanks I actually figured that out but instead I just signed out of iCloud on the device since I don’t use it, I was able to delete the passwords by checking the box and they were still on my other devices I also cleared keychain access afterwards so there’s now a fresh keychain if I ever decide to set up my device again.
