Hey there, javonnemarie!
It sounds like you want to keep all your photos on one device, but delete them off another. We can help.
How you do this will depend on how things are set up as far as how photos are shared between your devices. If you use iCloud Photos, your photo library is visible to all devices connected under your Apple ID. This makes it easy to see photos anywhere you're signed in, but when you delete photos anywhere, you delete them everywhere that is sharing them, so this might not be a good option.
Instead, you can Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a computer instead, which will save them on your computer's hard drive instead of iCloud.
Take care!
