I am trying to free up space on my laptop and I am considering deleting movies off my laptop. Does this actually remove the movie from my library or does it just delete the downloaded version?
Earlier Mac models
If these are movies you purchased from Apple, you should be able to delete them from your computer and redownload them later:
Delete movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app - Apple Support
Redownload TV shows and movies that you purchased - Apple Support
