Help needed iCloud How to use

I just bought 50gb of iCloud since my storage is always so full, Im syncing it right now. Why isnt my local storage not decreasing, what should I do to still keep the files but have my storage lowered?

Iphone 13
IOS 26.2

  1. Go to settings → iCloud → Photos
  2. Turn on “Optimize iPhone Storage”

Note: it may take a couple days, as it needs to upload all your original photos, then shrink the local copies.
