If you have iCloud for Windows PC then your photos are synched with your iPhone as well. This means that if you delete photos on your iPhone then they will also be deleted on your PC.

What you can do is export the photos from your PC to another drive or folder so that they can be stored there and won’t be affected by iCloud sync process.

You are welcome. Also, as you well know, try and have backups created from your iPhone and your PC. Never know when they those backup files will come in handy.
