How can i remove a device from icloud?

I have 2 macbooks, 1 ipad, and 1 iphone on the same icloud account. I also have 2 iphones on a family share. The photos and videos are stored in icloud, plenty of room there. BUT, one of my macbooks is taking up 158 GB!! Can I unlink it to the icloud photos? I need to just use the laptop for work and not have access to the photos.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

iCloud deleted photos not deleting from iPhone I'm helping my father free up some storage in his iCloud. He deleted about 2 thousand photos but his iPhone still has it all. According to Apple's documentation Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support: "Before you delete anything, make sure that you back up the photos and videos that you still want. When you use iCloud Photos and delete a photo or video on one device, it's also deleted on all other devices where you're signed in with the same Apple ID." At first I thought deleting from iCloud would also delete from the iPhone but it doesn't seem to be the case. Does this mean it is only one way deletation? If I delete from iPhone it deletes from iCloud but if I delete from iCloud it does not delete from iPhone? Isn't my computer logged into icloud.com considered a device? How should I mirror all the photos that were deleted from iCloud to his iPhone?

How do I remove shared iCloud Photos from my wife's library after deleting sharing? I shared my photos with my wife, but she didn't like them mixed in with hers and using up her storage space, so she asked me to stop sharing. After deleting, they were still showing up on her computer so I deleted sharing from her computer too. Unfortunately my 41,000 photos are still in her library, but now as part of her library which was only 2,000 photos. At least before she could select personal or shared photos, but now they're all together. There is no way to manually separate the two. She wants my photos gone. What can I do?
