Based on how you asked this question, I am ASSUMMING you are using iCloud Photo Library. If so see this article:


Get help with your iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support


especially the section:


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.
