How Do I delete someone else's photos that are connected to. my MacBook Air without removing it from their phone

Originally this MacBook Air was my moms, and I changed everything to my information though, her photos continued to stay on the Mac. How would I be able to remove them without making any changes to her actual photos on any device?


iPhone 13, iOS 16
