Q: iCloud duplicates
Hello,
This is a basic question, but please humour me.
I currently have iCloud Photo Library enabled on my iPhoneSE and this syncs fine to...well, iCloud. My iPhone itself is filling up rather fast, however, and I'd like to clear the space by removing the photos from the phone but leave them on my Mac.
Can I sync via cable to my Mac and then once done delete the photos from my iPhone? Or does deleting them from the phone (and hence from iCloud) mean that they will be removed (and lost) altogether?
Please help!
iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.3

If you turn off iCloud photo library on the phone, you can safely delete the photos on it. You will then have 2 options of transferring the photos from the phone to the Mac going forward, a cable (as you have already mentioned) or photo stream.
