I have an older mac that i have migrated to new. Now I wish to delete some items on old and give to spouse. Do I need to turn off Icloud to prevent deletion on the new device.

I did read the procedure but what I missed in my question is that my spouse does not want to have computer set up isolated from new. so Im trying to figure out how I will delete many items on old computer without deleting on new. I believe I must turn off iCloud on old and leave it off in order for the old not to affect deleting the same on new mac.

Again that you very much Im getting there having community advise.
