I have about 320Gb worth of Photos and Videos in iCloud Drive. If I want to view and older video it does not stream. I have to pres edit so it will download but the it stays on my iPhone taking up space i need as I have my library optimized.

how can I delete videos and photos from my device after downloading them from iCloud to free up space.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.
