You can do it in batches by exporting all Live photos as Original to a folder on the Desktop. Then delete all of the .mov files in that folder. Once the .mov files are removed you can reimport those files back into the library. Once they are back in the library and you're confirmed that are whaat you want you can delete the Live version from the library.


Also for future Photos make sure Live Photos is not selected on your iPhone when you take pictures.
