If I need to save room on my phone, can I delete pics without permanently losing them? As of now when I hit delete it says the photo will be deleted on all devices.

Why not use Box, Dropbox and OneDrive to store photos? Box gives you 10 free gb of storage, and OneDrive gives you 30 free gb of storage. You can make albums to organize your photos in all those. Once uploaded to the apps, you can delete them from your Photos app.

I think you are deleting them from iCloud Photo Library (beta)????

I know that when I had My Photo Stream enabled, when I deleted photos from the the Camera Roll, they did NOT delete from My Stream.
