I know that vk does not delete photos from its servers, tell me, do all social networks do this with data (video, photo)? That is, they are hidden from the profile, but remain on the servers

It's not a fact that they will remove it and it's not a fact that they won't. No one will answer this question for you. They don't delete photos not because they collect compromising evidence on you, but because it's technically easier to mark a photo as deleted than to physically delete it. Somewhere there was an article about this (only there was VK or Facebook), perhaps on Habré.

Photos are not deleted to minimize fragmentation

Due to the peculiarity of storing data on server HDDs, it is easier to delete from the database than to physically delete the file!

Not physically removed. Just rub data from the database
