Mail problems with a large home folder

My Mail app no longer works, stating the Home Folder was full.

The issue seems to be that the Photos Library (345 GB) is too large for the home folder and it appears to be stored on my iCloud drive (I have 2 TB of storage available on iCloud).

There is no folder called Home Folder.

Where should I save my Photos Library file?

I am using an Imac 27" 2019 model.

Thanks
