How to delete from drive but not devices

Hi Y'all!


Ok, so I put some documents into my iCloud drive that I wanted to access from a different location, just temporarily.


Now I want to delete those items from iCloud drive but I get the warning it will then delete those items from my devices.


But I don't want that. I want to keep the items on my devices and only delete them from iCloud, as I don't need them there anymore and they're taking up space.


How can I do what I want to do? Or can't I do that? Seems to be a fairly simple request.....
