If you delete a photo from an album or project it is deleted only from that item. Deleting from the All Photos or Photos window will send the photo to the Recently Deleted smart album. If you're using Photos 1.2 that comes with El Capitan 10.11.1 the following may help:
Deleting Photos from a Photos 1.2 Library
1 - regardless of where you are in the library, i.e. Moments, Collections, albums, smart albums or projects, select the photo(s) you want to delete and use the key combination of Command+Delete to move the photos to the Recently Deleted smart album.
2 - click on the Recently Deleted smart albums in the sidebar.
3 - in the Recently Deleted album you can opt to let the photo automatically delete after the 30 day waiting period is up, delete them immediately or restore them to the library.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from a Moment or Collection deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.
