Some for my followers asking me this question that they want free up their phone storage by deleting photos from there phone and want these photo backup only on google drive.
so I decide to make a guide which helps them to delete their images form gallery but not from google drive.
Not all of the Android device has big storage there for many Android users use the cloud drives.
And if we compare the cloud storages then google drive is the best cloud for android phone and the one reason to use that cloud is that because it’s free and also come free with phone and when you create Gmail account.

Fortunately, there is a way around that, and all it takes is one tap. This isn’t a setting you can adjust—it’s a single button that will delete all photos from your device that are backed up to Google Photos.
If none of your photos are backed up to Google, then no photos will be deleted. In other words, you first need to enable the backup.
Backing up to Google Photos
Before you attempt to delete anything, enable Back Up & Sync from within Google Photos. Here’s how.
Open Google Photos on your Android device.
Slide right from the left edge of the screen to reveal the sidebar.
Tap Settings.
Tap Back Up & Sync.
Tap to enable Back Up & Sync (Figure A).
Be patient—it may take a while to complete the initial backup.
