Not only photos occupy photo application system photo library other iCloud data also consumes space What you can do with iCloud storage - Apple Support

You can manage iCloud storage space Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

Deleting photos from system photo library will move photos in recently deleted and kept only for 30 days and will be erased in iCloud also .

So deleting all photos is not a solution ( as these photos would be precious ) .

No. If you delete them from your library you will also delete them in iCloud.
