Reviewing and deleting large attachments

I need to clear some space on my iPhone and want to delete some the large attachments within my messages. They are mostly photos or videos I have sent to other people - if I delete them via “review large attachments” will this delete them from my photos and videos, or just from the message itself? Thank you 🙏🏼

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

If you saved the photo to the photos app, it will not remove the photo from your device if you delete it from iMessage attachments.
