I am trying to delete ImageMagick, but each time I do, it also deletes PlayOnLinux. I just want to remove ImageMagick.

The command apt-cache depends playonlinux
shows that playonlinux depends on imagemagick, so imagemagick cannot be removed without also removing playonlinux. If you run sudo apt-mark hold playonlinux
to put playonlinux on hold so that it can't be removed, then sudo apt remove imagemagick
will do nothing except return an error message.
apt-cache showpkg playonlinux
shows you the dependencies - they're the packages thatplayonlinux
uses to do what it does (maybe to copy images and make thumbnails?). You can force the removalsudo dpkg --force-depends --remove imagemagick
; but likely playonlinux (and other programs) may stop working.
