You can save the photos you want to delete on iCloud Drive and they’ll stay there even once you delete them from the photos app. iCloud Drive is like the storage locker version of iCloud basically

So if I save my photos from the photos app to files and then delete them they are effectively off my device and on the cloud?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes. You could save it to iCloud Drive then delete it off the photos app. They would remain in your iCloud Drive. You could make a folder in your drive and name it something like “photo library” and dump all the photos there or if you want to organize a bit you can date them like “Photos 2018” and then just move photos from that year there.
