Yes they will. The photos that appear in albums that you create on the device do not contain copies of the photos themselves. They only conatin pointers to the photos that are stored in the camera roll. Therefore, if yo delete them from the camera roll, they will be deleted from the other albums.


Albums that you create on the device itself are only for organization on the device and cannot be transfered back to your computer since there is actually nothing in the album.
