Free up space on ipad

I recently bought an Ipad version 10, and when i turned it on and configured it, i noticed that all of my icloud photos are now on the ipad as well. The ipad storage is full. I would like to delete some videos and photos from the ipad but want to make sure they are not deleted from icloud where I have plenty of storage available. How do I resolve this problem?

On your iPad10, you will need to disable iCloud Photos:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > Photos > Sync This iPad - set to OFF


Having disabled iCloud Photos, your iPad will no longer synchronise its local Photo Library with iCloud; you can delete photos from your iPad without the deletion being replicated to iCloud or other devices.
