What will happen to my shared albums if I delete Photos from my Mac?
Is there any way to preserve all of my shared albums if I decide to completely delete the Apple Photos program from my Mac?
If I delete a shared album from my mac how do I ensure it is still preserved on iCloud.com, my iPhone and subscriber's iPhones?
Thank you!!!!

1 - you can not delete the Photos Application for your Mac, it is a protected part of the OS and if you hack things to do it you are likely to cause major OS issues
2 - Deleting the Photos library will not delete the shared albums from other places

Thanks, Larry!
You are right, I meant delete the entire photo library as opposed to the program.
Does it matter that I am the owner of the shared album and the original source of the pictures in a particular shared album was from the Mac (as opposed to the iPhone)? Also FYI I do not have iCloud photo library enabled on my Mac (I do have it enabled on my iPhone) if that matters.
Another question - I just noticed that I have some specific photos in a shared album (which I own) that were deleted from my iPhone and Mac, however, the photos are still in that shared album (proves your point)! Since I cannot see those photos on iCloud.com, where are those photos being stored?
Your shared albums are not in Cloud.com/Photos and you can not view them on iCloud.com - like MyPhotoStream it is a different service than iCloud Photo Library and does not have an iCloud.com photos viewer like iCloud Photo Library does
