    Can you be a little more specific, or provide more detail? Such as where this file is (what app), and how you got it there if it is not in iCloud?

     

    If you mean remove something from an iWorks app with iCloud enabled, and not have it deleted from iCloud, you can't.

    HI, what you ask can't be done except by turning off iCloud on your device. But then you will lose all the functionality of iCloud. In practice, though, your ipad will delete the file itself if it's not accessed for a time, leaving just a thumbnail. This appears to be the way iOS photos works. That way, you can have virtually unlimited storage on your device but have access to all your files on iCloud.
