ELI5: When deleting apps, games, etc, from your computer, where does that data go? How does that memory it used to take up, get erased?

Your game occupies a house in your PC's disk. You tell your PC you don't want that game anymore.

The house continues to be there, it doesn't get erased or go anywhere. But as soon you install a new game, your PC will build a new house on top of the old one.
