Cash out refinance

I had a cash out refinance in 2021 and placed the money into my savings for future home repairs, etc. 

 

1. Can I claim the entire amount of  interest that's listed on my 1098 from that refi on my taxes? Because I am having an issue with some of the Turbo tax questions.

2. For example,  when it asks if I took cash out on the refi? I answered yes,

How do I answer the next question "have I used the money from this loan  exclusively on this home, which includes the lifespan of the loan, etc.? If I answer no, I don't get to claim all of my mortgage interest paid.

Please let me know.
