Check Recently Deleted -- see: If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app - Apple Support


As you have found, iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


If you want to turn off iCloud Photos on a device, see the information in: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204570
