Q: Can I delete photos from my iPhone and keep them on iCloud only?

Hi,

I would like to delete all my photos from my iPhone 3GS and store them solely on my iCloud to free up space on the phone.  I am presently on the road and don't have access to my MacBook to store them there.  I have already backed up my photos from my iPhone to iCloud. What I would like to know is, will the photos delete from iCloud the next time I backup the phone?  In other words, if the iCloud doesn't see those previously uploaded photos on my iPhone, will iCloud assume that I no longer want them and delete them from the cloud?

 

Thanks for your help.

iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1
