Hello,
I recently have been wanting to delete my iCloud photos and am not sure what happens if I disable and delete my photos (in iCloud). I have downloaded a copy of my photos to my mac, but what will happen if I want to enable iCloud photos again? Will I still be able to? Also if I take a photo on my phone this means that it won't show up on my Mac or iPad either right?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We can understand why you’d want to know more about what happens when you delete your photos.
“Photos delete from all of your devices
The photos and videos that you delete on one device are deleted everywhere that you use iCloud Photos. Photos and videos stay in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days before they're deleted permanently.” Set up and use iCloud Photos
We hope this helps! Thanks for being a part of the community.
Sincerely.
