Deleting a photo from library also removes it from folder

Why is it when I drag a photo from the library into a folder… I try to then delete it from library, but it also deletes it from the folder.

If you want to identify all of your photos in the Library that are not in any album, you can use the Photos File menu > New Smart Album and set the condition for the Smart Album to Album - is not - Any. Then as you add photos to Albums they will automatically disappear from that Smart Album (or you can drag photos directly from that Smart Album to a regular album).
