In general, storage on iCloud is “mirrored” on your iPhone (iPad, Mac, etc.).
In such cases, deleting the file from any of your devices will also delete it from iCloud, as well. Hence, once the deletion is finalized, the file is fully gone!
So, be careful what you do with iCloud storage!
A simpler way to offload files from your iPhone, while making sure you keep the file safe, is to offload the files to a Computer.
There are also file optimization type iCloud storage uses, but it will take time for the iCloud storage optimization to “minimize” the use of your iPhone’s storage, while retaining the full files within iCloud.
However, once again, you cannot delete the “stub” files from your iPhone without eliminating the corresponding, full file from iCloud.
