IOS – If I delete a voice memo from the Music app, will it also be deleted from the Voice Memo app

iosiphoneitunesmusic.appvoice-memo

I want to remove the voice memos from my Music so it doesn't come up when playing songs, but I want to keep the voice memos.

To clarify, I did not purposely move my voice memos to the Music app. When I synced my phone to iTunes, all of my voice memos were added to my music library, and when I synced again later on, those voice memos were added to my phone as songs.

Will deleting voice memos from the Music.app also delete them in the Voice Memos.app?

I use an iPhone 6s running iOS 11.

I have tried it on iOS 11 with a new VoiceMemo. Here is what have I done:

I have created a new voice memo, then I have synced the phone to the computer (running latest iTunes). The voice memo showed up in both my music collection in iTunes (even separate playlist) and within the songs on the phone. At least according to iTunes. But then I have tried to search for voice memos in the Music app, but it did not show up. Was this done with some old software?

Anyhow deleting the voice memo on the computer - never mind what it says - will leave it on the phone. But of course, I suggest to back up.
