    From the iPhone User guide:

    http://help.apple.com/iphone/9/#/iphf14943e

     

    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap the trash can button, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all your devices using iCloud Photo Library with the same Apple ID.

     

    Are you using iCloud Photo Library?  Then deleting photos from your iPhone will delete the photos from all your devices, not just your iPhone.
