deleting photos from device I see this when I go to delete from the Photos app 


  "Deleting will remove the photos and videos on your device and also
  any backups in your account"
  "Cancel"/"Delete everywhere"


is there a way to delete from my device without deleting the backup on my Google+ account

When using the Photos app it will do that for you.  

If you use the Gallery app it will only manipulate the local images, therefore deleting the local ones. The Gallery app comes with Nexus 4.
