Delete Files on Mac but Have Them Persist in iCloud Drive?

Hello Community,

Is there a way for me to delete files locally from my Mac but have them stay in iCloud Drive? I cannot figure out how to do this. I am running out of space on my Mac and pay for 2TB of iCloud storage monthly.


Thank you,

Michael

Failure to do proper research before asking a question. A little research shows right clicking on a folder and selecting "Remove Download" is the way to go.
