Problem with syncronization (Lightroom Classic- Lightroom Cloud)

I'm using Lighroom mobile on my android phone and the photos I take on it are  automatically imported in lightroom classic, on my Mac. I would like to store these photos on lightroom classic and delete them lightroom mobile. However, when I delete the photos from lightroom mobile, they do not appear anymore on lightroom classic too.  How can I desynchronize these photos, once they appear on lighroom classic?

I suspect you'll need to move them out of the Lightroom Mobile folder inside Lightroom Classic once they've fully downloaded. I think if they're in that folder and then you delete them on the phone, Classic will remove them as well. 

This is just speculation as my mobile folder is currently a mess and not organized like it should be for some unknown reason.

Make sure the images have downloaded to your local drive and LrC is fully synced before you delete them from Lightroom mobile. It sounds like you tried deleting them before they had a chance to sync.
