Marking a file or folder as cloud only
I am working with Windows 11 on an Acer desktop computer and have uploaded numerous files into One Drive. But I want to designate those files as Cloud Only as I am trying to clear up space on my harddrive. Can someone tell me how to do this?

When I left click on the folder or file a blue check mark appears on the left indicating the file is selected but then a right click gives me the same list, share, copy, move details etc but no option to make this cloud only. I opened the file and tried to do it with the contents but same thing
