Deleting iPhone Shared Albums
I am the owner of a shared album. Will deleting the shared album remove the photos from my device as well? Or the photos will remain in my device and only the shared album is deleted? Thanks.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

When you share a photo in a shared album, Photos will add a copy of the photo to the shared album and store this copy in iCloud.
When you delete a shared album, the album and the copies it is holding in iCloud will be deleted. The original photo you shared from your library will remain in your library, if it is still in your library.
You should save all photos from the shared album, that are not in your library and that you want to keep, before you delete the shared album. And warn the subscribers, that you are about to delete the album, to give them time to save the photos, if they have not yet done so.
