I've exported photos out of Lightroom CC to Google Drive. I then go back into Lightroom and delete the photos and now they are not in Google Drive. Would deleting them from Lightroom also delete them from my Google Drive? 

Correct answer F. McLion

No. Once exported, the photos are decoupled from Lr.

Did you use the "Export" function, or by mistake "moved" the photos?
