How to delink my MacBook Pro desktop from iCloud such that when I delete something from the desktop for want of space, it should not delete anything from cloud
Apple offers iCloud Backup for iPhones and iPads but not for Mac computers.
You can sync some data from a Mac to iCloud but if you then delete any of the synced data from the Mac, it is also deleted from iCloud and from any other synced devices.
It is possible to sync data from a Mac to iCloud if you turn on those options (e.g., iCloud Photos, iCloud Drive including the Desktop & Documents option). Syncing has some of the benefits of a backup (and the benefit of being offsite) but is not the same as a backup. Major differences include the fact that not everything on your Mac can be synced and the fact that if you delete something, accidentally or otherwise, there is only a limited time period (30 days in most cases) during which it can be recovered.
