If you activated iCloud Photos you can't delete them because they are automatically deleted in iCloud too. Before making any change to settings or deleting any image, save pictures/videos from iCloud following these steps:
Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support
Then you can delete what you want, since they are stored on your computer.

Thank you very much!! The thing is that I have 2 iPhones connected on my Icloud account. So I wanted to delete pictures/videos on the iPhone A but not on the iPhone B. So I guess I can just deactivate "iCloud Photos" on iPhone A before deleting the pictures/videos I want on iPhone A. Meanwhile all my pictures/videos will be saved on iCloud and Iphone B ?
Yes, Uwera19, it should work that way.
But, as already suggested, BEFORE making any change or deleting images, I would put them in a safe place (on a computer), using the support guide I provided in my previous post.
