Storage > Manage Storage
or

How to Delete Photos From iPhone But Not iCloud
Actually, iCloud Photo Library is designed for sharing your photos across your devices. Any changes you make to your photos collection on iPhone, change on your other devices too. If you want to delete photos from iPhone but keep in iCloud, turn off iCloud Photo Library in Settings > iCloud > Photos.
By doing so, you can delete photos from your iPhone but still keep them in iCloud. But you cannot upload new photos to iCloud as disabled iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone. If you turn on iCloud Library again, the photos you deleted from your iPhone will also be removed from iCloud. That’s how iCloud works.
Apple doesn’t offer a direct way to deleted photos from iPhone but keep them in iCloud when iCloud Photo Library is on.
