Q: Photos Stored in iCloud

If I delete a photo from the source device, is it also deleted from iCloud, or does a copy stay there?

Here is what the iCloud Photo Library Help article states:

 

How do I delete photos and videos from a device using iCloud Photo Library?

If you want to remove photos and videos from all your iOS devices, Mac and iCloud.com, you can delete them in the Photos app.

When you delete a photo or video from your Photos app, it will also delete from your iCloud Photo Library and iCloud storage. You can recover your photos and videos from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days.
