Hi Everyone,

So I completely wiped my iPhone today and decided to set up as new.

I entered in all my information and did not restore from backup.

This left me with a device, that is, out of the box - esentially brand new. I installed some apps, put my music on, then when it comes to photos, i turned on the iCloud photos, logged in, and all my stuff was there.

However iTunes is telling me I have over a thousand photos stored on my device. My question is, how do I make it so these photos exist only in the cloud. I don't want 3 gigs of photos on my device. I want them in the cloud so I can access them whenever I want.. not the entire library stored locally.
