I have over 12,000 photos and it is taking up all the space on my MacBook Air. They are backed up on an external drive and on iCloud. How can I remove them from my Mac to free up space?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
You can select few photos see this article Select and deselect photos in Photos on Mac - Apple Support and delete to recently deleted folder see this article Delete photos or recover deleted ones in Photos on Mac - Apple Support ( its your choice to delete them permanently immediately or after 30 days the photos will be removed from the iCloud server ) .
In this way the complete photo data is still on external hard drive , but the space is reduced in photo library .
