Recently, I decided to enable the optimize iPhone storage option in my photos to save storage. When I did this, several images from my family appeared in my camera roll that they did not send to me, and new ones are still being added. Is there anyway to delete all the unnecessary photos, and stop sharing them?

Hi bread201,
welcome to this Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Seems if you stop the sharing (from an unknown person?), the photos will disappear too.
Apple Support have an article online (link below) that may be helpful:
See: Manage Photos sharing settings on Apple devices - Apple Support
or
If the photos are being "shared with you" (eg: via the Messages app):
See: Manage Shared with You settings on Apple devices - Apple Support

All the best :-)
Are you sharing an apple account with family members?
Did one of the family share their iCloud Photos Library with you?
It has to be one of those, and if so Do NOT start deleting photos - they will never forgive you.
How do I stop sharing iCloud Photos?
