Hello, If messages are set to keep forever, can I still delete them manually and will they be deleted from icloud?

Many thanks 🙏

Yes. Also see information in Delete and recover messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support including the following:

If you use Messages in iCloud and delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices.
