How do I achieve that?
First of all, keep your backup photos in another place, not Google+.
How? Copy them – from your phone or from Google+ – to another cloud account of sufficient size or to your laptop's or desktop's harddisk. This can obviously take some time and involve a lot of data. So do it only as long as you're on WiFi. Maybe overnight?
Then erase them from your phone. Which will erase them from your Google+ account too but that is now not a problem anymore because you have that other backup set.
