When you delete stuff from your phone (pictures, videos etc.) where does all that data go?

“Data” isn’t a thing. You can’t have a bucket of data, it is an idea. The presence of a thing can convey data but similarly the absence of a thing can convey data. So your question of “where does it go” has no answer, it doesn’t need to go anywhere.
