Need help How to delete Google Photos without Deleting from Phone.

If I delete any photos to avoid cloud storage it was reflecting on my local phone storage also.

I was bit stressed to keep important files.

Plz help on this thread.

The steps below may help, but we recommend verifying with Google to be sure.

To emove selected backed up photos & videos from Google Photos, but not your device
-On your Android device, in the Google Photos app, turn off backup.
Turn off backup on all devices where you want the photo or video to stay.
-Then, on your computer or in your mobile browser, go to photos.google.com/login.
-Delete your selected backed up photos and videos.
-On your Android device, wait a few minutes and make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi.
-Close and reopen the Google Photos app.
*Deleted photos may still be in your Photos view. These photos are only local copies. To check the backup status of the photo, tap the photo and then More, Scroll down to "Details."

To ensure that your photo or video isn't backed up to Google Photos again and your local copy isn't deleted, leave backup off.

If you leave backup off, you lose the benefits of backup.

Other brands' galleries are great; they don't delete photos via the Google Photos app! 🤔 The problem is samsung gallery app automatically deletes photos through Google Photos.

When we need space on cloud storage sacrifice our internal too.
