How to delete a photo in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2924 downloaded from iCloud?

Using a Mac air with Sonoma latest version.  Somehow my PSE 2024 is downloading photos from icloud. In  the organizer there is a little blue cloud in the upper right corner of the thumbnail.  I can not delete this photo and when I try, the computer feeezes and I have to force quit.   How do to remove photo?  How to stop, PSE2024 to stop downloading from icloud?

I suspect the crash is caused by the program when it tries to find and delete the missing files. The program then freezes and the only way out is a force quit.
