Library Files Sync

I use the files in my CC Library regularly on my desktop but never on my laptop yet CC stores local version of the library files on my laptop as well and they're taking up a considerable amount of space. I do use Lr to sync to my laptop so turning off sync completely would impact that. Is there anyway to make the library files not install locally on my laptop?

 

I don't want to just delete them in fear of the files syncing and getting deleted on my desktop as well.

do you have file syncing stopped on your laptop?

I do have sync paused on my laptop, sometimes I need to turn it on to sync Lightroom however and my fear is that if I delete the library files on my laptop when I turn sync on it will delete the library files from the cloud and my desktop as well (I've read this happened to someone else when attempting this). 

 

So I'm curious if I can somehow prevent Library files from being stored locally without having to completely deactivate syncing.

you shouldn't use synced files for anything important. ie, copy anything important to another local directory.
