    The photo will be deleted from iCloud Photo Library and all devices - also everywhere.  If you are using iCloud Photo Library the only way to save space is to use the "optimize storage" setting. Then the photos are only in iCloud and the devices just keep smaller, optimized versions. 

     

    Or keep only a small selection of photos in iCloud and on all your devices.
