Hi DukeFrank,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The process of freeing up space on a device varies depending on the computer or services you’re using, but the article below should help you solve the issue of removing photos from your iPhone 6 in order to free up space and archive the photos.

My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.
The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted. -
Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.
Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto. -
My wife and I both have an iphone 4s. We have been taking photos, and now the space on our phones is maxed out. Is there a way for me to automatically dump the photos onto my computer, and delete photos on my phone so that I hog up the space with photos? It seems like this shouldn't be complicated, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to copy the photos to my pc, and then delete them from my phone.
Connect the phone to your computer and open whatever image capture application you have on the computer. An application you use to transfer photos from a camera to your PC should work with the iPhone. The computer will recognize the phone as a camera and allow you to copy photos to the computer, you can then keep or delete the photos from the iPhone.

My Mac's hard drive is full. Mostly of pics and movies. Can I upload and move photos to Icloud, then delete them from my Mac? If yes how?
Use something such as OmniDiskSweeper (my favorite) or Grand Perspective to find out where large files may be. iCloud isn't going to help much if you've so much data that it won't fit on a 1TB drive. Sounds as if it's time to either buy another drive or at least an external with more space.
Good luck,

Can I backup all the photos on my iPhone to the cloud, then delete them from my phone to free up space (but be able to restore them if I need them again?)
Thanx for the link...here's my problem. I built my windows pc and installed 2 hard drives...but the larger one isn't accessible right now...not sure why...but the solid state little one is full. This is a problem I need one of my kid's to help me address. I have a lot of photos 'cause my husbands into photography, we travel a lot, and somehow thousands of photos he took, plus ones I took, plus videos I took, ended up on my iPhone...and they are different in a lot of cases from the photos on the iPad that we share. I know I have 2 address this someday, bu don't have time right now...and I can't take any new photos or videos...or even add an app for that matter, until I free up some space on my iPhone. We've already taken two brief trips where I wanted to use my camera and couldn't...and I was looking for a quick way to address my picture taking ability...because we are leaving for another trip in a week, and another one right after that. This is probably way more info than you need...but there are probably duplicates...but until I go thru them I won't know. I could be wrong, but I thought when I backed up my photos to iCloud that all the photos in the photo app were backed up. Maybe I'm wrong and it's only those in the Photo Stream...in which case I should do something about that as well, 'cause I've upgraded our storage plan twice now...and it is getting pretty expensive...and I don't even know how to use it other than to do a complete restore when you get a new device which I just did recently because my son wanted our old iPad for a graduation present, and I kind of wanted the better camera on the new iPad, so I got one...and it took a week to retrieve everything from the cloud on our wi-fi! I hope this makes some sense to you, and appreciate any advice you have to share!

If I download photos to icloud, can I delete them from my computer without deleting them from icloud?
If I download photos to icloud,
Which MacOS X version do you use?
How are you planning to store photos in iCloud? There are many ways to use iCloud with photos, but none will save space on your Mac:
iCloud Drive: Any photo you store on iCloud Drive will also have a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space, see: iCloud Drive FAQ
My Photo Stream: Photos you upload to My Photo Stream from your Mac, are also stored on your Mac. And My Photo Stream is only a temporary storage for a month. You cannot keep the photos permanently in My Photo Stream, see: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud Photo Sharing: Shared Photo albums are also stored locally, and reduce the resolution of the photos: seeiCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
iCloud Photo Library (Beta): This is not yet available on a mac, but will be available, when the new Photos.app will be released. Right now you can use it from mobile iOS8 devices, iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ.Photos you store in iCloud from mobile devices can be accessed on your mac using the icloud web portal. You can however upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta from your mac using the Photos.app (Beta) on web interface at https://www.icloud.com -
How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac
How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac?
To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via iPhoto. -
I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.
You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account. If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account. (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account. -

iCloud: Photo Stream FAQs
Do Not rely on Only One Backup System for your Precious Photos....
IMO you should have at least 2 or 3...
One on your Computer, another on an External Hard Drive ... and a third on a Flash Drive... -
Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to free up space on my iPhone?I would still like to keep them somewhere where they can be accessed.
One option is to turn on iCloud Photo Library on the phone and go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on "Optimize iPhone Storage." Then you don't delete the photo from the phone but it does occupy significantly less space. More information in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

I was organizing my photos into albums. then deleting them from my Camera roll. Then I went into MY Photo Stream and started deleting the pics I had moved to albums;Come to find out I deleted all pic from everywhere!! Would the iCloud still have them saved
First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.

Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.
