I want to be able to delete photos and videos on my Nexus 5 without deleting them from Google+ and Facebook versions of the photos online. What is the proper procedure?

Ok so I can't seem to find an answer about this. With automatic sync for camera -> Dropbox, dropbox automatically seems to create an album for you. On the left side on the dropbox website there's a link called "Photos" which is all the photos you've ever uploaded from your camera. I separate my photos after being uploaded into different albums (private relationship photos in its own folder for example), however, regardless of moving the location of an image after its uploaded it ALWAYS stays in this album, which unfortunetly is synced on the phone.
My worry is someone I show my phone to could simply click Albums from the Gallery app, hit dropbox, and immediately see any of my private photos.
Is there any way to move photos OUT of this gallery? Or stop the gallery from showing up on the phone? You can delete an image from this gallery on the website, but then it deletes it from your dropbox entirely.
Google Photos can display photos from Google+ but it seems to show them in order (latest first). Since I have over 15,000 photos on Google+, I was hoping it would be random so I don't see the same photos every time Daydream starts.
Photo Frame only uses photos on the device.
Photo Table only uses photos on the device.
Any suggestions?
All my photos and videos get backed up with google photos. In my storage it says its taking up 9gb. So I can go to my Gallery app and delete my photos and videos, but they will all still be in my Google photos account correct? I'm running low on storage, it would be nice to free up 9 gigs. Thx
Yes they will remain backed up to google photos. Make sure they are Really backed up first. I just deleted mine from my Nex5 and they are all backed up.
I just cleaned my photo gallery on note 4 from duplicated photos, i did that from samsung gallery app
If I open google photos app i sill see all my deleted photos and the same thing is via web browser
How can i sync deleted photo, cleaning my online backup?
On device photos are saved on SD card
So i just came back from a holiday in Japan. As i am using a google pixel, my stored photos automatically goes to the google photos app. but the app is not synced on the cloud (meaning i never signed in with google photos) as i don't intend to use it as a cloud storage, but just a normal stock photo storage on my phone.
So after the trip, i created a new album and sorted out the best photos out of the trip and put it there. I named it "for profile pics photos"
Now, the storage memory is getting full, so i moved the photos from the camera folder to my harddrive through Solid file explorer, but i didn't touch the "for profile pics photos" album.)
When i checked the google photos app, the "for profile pics photos" album is gone! i was shocked and i was looking for the specific photos everywhere. it's gone. My best pics from the trip is gone! i am so pissed.
I double checked in the harddrive if the photos got transferred there but it wasn't. it just got lost!
I also checked the trash in the google photos, it's also not there!
How can i retrieve those photos? why is google photos like this. is this a common problem for a google phone?
Just for what it's worth and because no one has replied yet, I haven't had this problem but I only don't use Photos' backup option on my non-Pixel devices. On my Pixel devices, I use the free full quality backup. On my non-Pixel devices, although I use Photos as a gallery app, I use Mega with its free 50 GB of cloud storage to backup my pictures and videos. It's not as seamless as with Photos.
I should also add I haven't done the exact steps you have on a phone where Photos isn't set to backup automatically.
