delete character - skills

i was wondering, if i deleted a character do the skills i had got with it still stay unlocked? ie so that my heros on other charcters can still use them?

Yep, they will.

Just to add a bit of clarity.

They will stay unlocked on your account for any of your heros to use, however the only way you could use them is if you unlock them with the relevant tome

Additionally, your skills will be available for any PvP characters you create. And, you can buy the skills or use tomes. If you're creating a new PvE character, buy skills until the price for the next skill goes over 500. Just buy tomes after that. And cap elite skills if you can.. Cap sigs are only 1k.. while elite tomes are far more.
