Say if the internal storage of your phone were to fill up and you deleted something like a video or game, what is it actually doing to the file in order to take it off the storage and how are new files able to just replace it?

Digital storage is similar to locker room with a manager.

When you save a file, the manager will dissemble your file. He will select some free lockers, take the old things out and put your things in, and mark those lockers. When you delete a file, the manager will remove the mark from those lockers so they can be used again.
