    Terrie,

     

    If you are using iCloud Photo Library, deleting a photo from any device deletes that photo from all of your devices.

    How did you "save them in the cloud"?  Did you use Photo Strem?  If so, this link may be helpful:

    How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?

    You can delete photos from My Photo Stream on your iOS device or Mac when you tap or click Delete.

    On your PC, select the photos that you want to remove from My Photo Stream, right-click, and then select Delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, it will be removed from Photos and iCloud. The photos you import from My Photo Stream to your other devices won’t be deleted.

    What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?

    If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, all of the photos in the My Photo Stream album are removed from that device. Any photos from My Photo Stream that you imported to the All Photos album and the Photos tab are also removed.

    The photos from My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Photos from My Photo Stream will stay on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you upload them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, the photos will automatically download.

    Before turning off My Photo Stream, you should save any photos that you'd like to keep to your device. Learn more about saving your photos.
