If you use the service iCloud Photo Library, deleting a photo from one device WILL delete it from all corresponding devices that are signed into your Apple ID. iCloud Photo Library is a syncing service and not a backup. If your content is in iCloud Photo Library, there should be NO REASON to delete them from your device unless you dont want someone to view that image.
