The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.6/3/19

Hi Gary, my iCloud account is full of old photos. How do I take them off my account to free some space? I followed a previous suggestion you gave, that was to create different libraries for every year of photos, but that was before I had my photos in iCloud.

Or would you recommend a new improved way of doing this?
