Re: "why dont the pictures delete from iphone or ipad when I click on delete?"
If the pictures you are trying to delete are synced to iCloud, deleting them from your device(s) would delete them from iCloud too, so you would suddenly be left with no pictures at all. (ie: there would be no pictures left to sync.)
iCloud stores the full-resolution copies, so you may just have low-resolution copies in sync on your devices.
If needed: You can: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support
or
You could download the full-resolution original photos to your iPhone / iPad if you have enough storage space.
It is unclear which storage is full .... the iphone / ipad or iCloud, or just what end result you are aiming for.
Eg: You can turn off or on sync of photos to iCloud anytime you wish, and keep those on your iPhone / iPad.
All the best :-)
