Remove photos from LR CC but keep locally

Question

I thought that Lightroom CC as part of the full CC plan came with 10TB of storage, so I started uploading all files from Lightroom Classic. At 100GB (which is a far cry from what I expected), the upload stopped.

I don't see a way to delete photos from LRCC without also having them deleted from my local computer. Since I was apparently wrong about how much space Adobe provides, I could use LRCC for current work and then delete the files from the cloud -- but this seems not to be an option. I've seen other similar questions regarding how to delete files from the cloud, but I haven't seen a definitive answer.

Here's hoping somebody has one!

Clicking the cloud icon in the upper right corner of the Lightroom CC window will tell you how much cloud space you have in total and how much you have used.

Deleting photos from Lightroom CC does not delete them from Lightroom Classic.

The accepted answer is no longer true in 2020.

For those like me who find this two years on as a top Google hit: The answer is to remove the photos from your 'All Synced Photographs' Collection. Credit: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom/removing-photos-from-cloud/m-p/9407328?page=3#M613
