the title says it all. When I go into the online version of LR CC ( the desktop one won't even give me an option) to delate photos from there it says its going to deleate it from everything Adobe, I don't want that. How do I just clear up my online storage without losing it from everywhere else?

Sorry you can’t. That’s by design. Originals are stored in the cloud and appropriate sized previews are sent to devices and desktop. If you delete from the cloud (on-line in web browser) you delete everywhere, including locally stored copies.

It's best export copies or make backup copies to a local folder before clearing from the cloud.
