Hey there danihb,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We'll be happy to help.


"When you delete a shared album, it's automatically removed from all of your devices and the devices of your subscribers. If you turned on Public Website, the shared album is removed from the web, too. Deleting a shared album permanently deletes all of its photos. Before continuing, make sure that you save any photos that you want to keep." (How to use Shared Albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac)


Take care.
