Where the files will go when you are deleting it from the computer?

They stay on the computer, but the space they used is marked as being free to be used by other files. So as you create new files and save other files, they will start to use the space where the deleted files are, and eventually they will be completely overwritten. Because they are still there, this is why it is still possible to get some deleted files back if you try to do so soon after they are deleted. The more time you leave the more likely it is that the space they are in will be used by other files, making it impossible to get them back.

No. There is no problem in deleting zip files. They are just left behind after file downloads. .zip files are compressed archives, containing 1 or more files.
