If a file got deleted where it will Go?

It really doesn't go anywhere. On most filesystems, the file is left undisturbed and its directory entry is just marked as "deleted". Also any cluster allocation data maintained by the filesystem for the file is returned to "unallocated" state. These things make the file inaccessible to the filesystem (and eventually as new files are written it will be overwritten) but the file data remains.

There are special recovery tools that can read the data in unallocated clusters and reassemble the original file.
