How to remove downloaded copies of photos already sync'd in iCloud. Need local storage on MacBook Air

Looking to install the newest OS 11 beta but I need to delete all local photos and keep them all in iCloud. I turned on optimize photos to keep full res on iCloud but that didn't clear enough space. Photos take the most space on my MacBook Air as I don't have any apps or any else.

iCloud Photos Downloaded? I bought a new Macbook and it downloaded all of my photos stored in iCloud. I'd like to stop it from syncing and remove them to save space, without affecting any of my other devices. I realize there's a feature that converts the locally stored files to smaller versions if my mac starts to get full, but I'd like to keep it mostly empty as I need working space for files before I move them to a hard drive.

can I safely delete photos stored in iCloud in order to free up storage once the photos are saved in my MacBook Pro Photos? Hi, I'm trying to free up storage space on iCloud by moving at least half or more photos in iCloud into my MacBook Pro photo app, which is empty. Also would like to then transfer them from my MacBook Pro to an external drive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated !
