Can I delete files on OneDrive without deleting them on my PC?

[Windows Central Question]

Can I delete files on onedrive without deleting them in my PC?

When I upload files, it automatically gets upload to Onedrive. If I delete it on Onedrive, will the file still be present on my computer storage?

OneDrive is a two-way sync in just about every case except Windows Phone photo upload. So things deleted on OneDrive are going to be deleted on connected PC's.

Copy/backup data!

if you want to do that, you'll have to stop syncing that folder with onedrive and then delete
