Hi Mandaluce, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Provided you're deleting the photos from your phone itself, and not from within the Dropbox app (or any other services connected to Dropbox), then the files on the Dropbox site would remain.

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
