How to delete my iPhone files in another iPad without losing them?

I bought my 12 year old daughter a new 8th generation ipad yesterday and when we were looking last night I realized it has all my photos off my iPhone on it. I have over 10,000 photos and memes and stuff but I want to keep the photos on my phone but delete them from her iPad. How do I do this ? And prevent them from going over via cloud I guess each time she visits

This is what I would do:


Toggle off iCloud sharing in photos on the iPad. If you don't, and erase the photos, it will delete all of your pictures too.

Erase and reset the iPad back to factory settings. If there is anything important on it, get it off.

Set up the iPad using her Apple ID. Enable Family share or set restrictions on the device.
