remove large sync of photos from iPad

I chose the cloud to be the repository for all of my pictures. 88 gb worth. once all 88 gb were synced to cloud, all 88 gb synced to my iPad. How do I remove the 88gb from my iPad and not delete the whole library from the cloud? There are 18000 pictures. It seems difficult to select them all.

With iCloud Photo Library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on one device (or at iCloud.com) without deleting it from every device that uses iCloud photo library (and iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you wish to do so) turn on optimisation for photos on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimise storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimise storage on your Mac)

Optimisation is dynamic, it reduces the resolution of your photos as and when needed, so you may not notice it occurring at first. However, when it is needed, it is very effective and users have reported libraries being optimised to much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original size on my phone.

Thanks Winston. I think I did that (optimist storage) but its been a month and the size of the copies of my pictures on my iPad is till 80 gb. I can't backup to my Mac with that large of an iPad photo size. I bought a 128 gb iPad Pro. Its a shame to waste it all.

As I said, optimisation is dynamic, it will only free up space and optimise the photos if it needs that space.

If you use iCloud Photo library, photos aren't included in your backup.
