If I delete pictures from PHOTOS will they remain in the SHARED ALBUMS?

I have 30,000 photos presently on my iPhone

I just ran out of space

I have many Shared Albums that I could add them to, but if I delete pictures from PHOTOS will they remain in the SHARED ALBUMS?

You can also use that iXpand flash drive as a tool to save the photos to a real external hard drive afterwards.

iXpand Flash Drive are available at Apple Store and at Apple Authorized Service Providers.
