If sd pics are transferred to dropbox are they still on sd card too?

AC Question

I found an sd card, it was full of pics that automatically transferred to my dropbox. I want to free up dropbox space, my question is, while I'm trying to locate the owner of the sd card, if I delete the found sd pics in my Dropbox are they still on the found sd card? I'm not a technical person, so the answer may be obvious to all, it's not to me. Thank you for any explanation.
