How to Delete Photos from iCloud But Still Have Them on Your iPhone/iPad/iPod

Basically, photos in your camera roll are on the device. Photos in My Photo Stream do take up a bit of device space, but mostly they live in the cloud and are sent to your other devices.

Once the pictures you've taken are in My Photo Stream, you need to go to My Photo Stream on the iPhone in Photos and add those photos to your iPhone photo library. Once they've been added, you can delete the pictures from the Photo Stream.

To delete photos from the cloud, delete them from iCloud Photo Library. If you don't want pictures to be sent to the cloud at all in the future, you'd have to go to:
Settings >> Users' Apple ID >> iCloud >> Photos and turn off the iCloud Photo Library.

You might also want to turn off my photo stream, which uses iCloud to send photos to all your devices. Unless you want a photo taken on your iPhone to appear on you other Apple devices. 

Note: My Photo Stream doesn't store photos in iCloud, it just uses it to send them to your other Apple devices. iCloud Photo Library on the other hand, does store photos in iCloud so that they can be accessed on: www.icloud.com
