Where do deleted files go?

Nowhere. When a file is "deleted" it's entry in the directory is removed (pretty much the same as removing an entry from the table of contents in a book) and the blocks associated with the file are marked as available. Eventually the blocks will be overwriten with new data.

Deleted files go to the "Recycle bin"
