Which photos will be deleted, when I disable my Dropbox account?

When I delete my Dropbox account will only the pictures in the Dropbox account be deleted? Will all of my other pictures in my regular picture Gallery remain in my picture Gallery?

When I referred to my gallery I was talking about my pictures on my cell phone. I just wanted to make sure they wouldn’t be deleted if I deleted my Dropbox account.

    Dropbox can't delete the photos on your phone. Only the files stored within Dropbox will be deleted.
