Unsync photos from mac to free up space

When you delete photos from your Mac, they are not actually deleted from your computer. Instead, they are stored in a hidden folder called the Trash. To free up space on your hard drive, you need to permanently delete these photos by emptying the Trash.

To do this, open the Finder and click on the trash can icon in the dock. Alternatively, you can go to Finder > Empty Trash. This will delete all of the files in the Trash, including your photos. If you have a lot of photos taking up space on your Mac, you may want to consider using an external hard drive or cloud storage service to store them.
