Downloading from iCloud to phone

[d1358531]

I downloaded a movie I had on my iCloud drive to my phone. I want to keep it on the iCloud, but don't want to keep it on my phone. How do I delete it from my phone, but not iCloud? Thanks for any help.

You will have to disable iCloud Drive on the device, but as soon as you re-enable it, it will sync with iCloud. iCloud, in and of itself, is arguably more about syncing opposed to storage, in my opinion.

Just delete it you can re download it anyway.

You could connect your phone to a computer and pull the video off of your phone via iTunes. Then save it to your computer. From your computer, go to iCloud.com and you can place the video into a folder on your iCloud Drive from the web interface.
