If you delete a file on say a computer or a phone where does it go? Especially when it isn’t connected to an internet source.

It doesn’t go anywhere. You’re usually just telling the filesystem to “forget” that it’s there and treat it as empty space.
Being connected to the internet does not factor into this in any way shape or form.
