You have a iCloud photo library turned on on your iPhone. The iCloud photo library creates a carbon copy of your photos and albums sync across all of your devices. It is not a backup. If you want you can keep all of your photos on your iPhone and check the box optimized iPhone storage. This will keep all of the photos on your phone as small thumbnails and not the full size image. Or you can uncheck iCloud photo library and manual sync the photos to your laptop. Once you have sent the photos to your laptop or other Photo storage application you can delete them from your phone.
