FYI, iCloud Photos is a synchronization service. If you delete on any device connected to iCloud Photos, it is taken as a request to delete the photo from all devices connected to iCloud Photos, and from iCloud itself.


You can turn on "Optimize iPhone Storage" or "Optimize iPad Storage", which gives your iPhone or iPad permission to store lower-quality, space-saving versions of your photos. But you must let the iPhone or iPad make the decision as to when to substitute space-saving versions for full-size versions, and vice versa. Even if the iPhone or iPad uses space-saving versions for nearly all of your photos, it will try to keep some version of all of them.
