Deleting photos/videos from Macbook Air but keep them on icloud storage
I need to free up a lot of space on my mac. Biggest files on in Photos, mainly videos. I am transfering them off to a WD external storage device but want to keep all photos and videos on icloud as permamnent back up. When I delete the videos that I have transferred , I get message saying that these files will be deleted on all my devices, which is ok, but I checked my iCloud and they are gone form there too.
