I have done a number of searches and have not found execution data is stored. I know where the flows themselves are stored, but I cannot locate execution data on a flow. I can see those that are executing in the dashboard, but after they are complete, is the data regarding that execution of the flow lost?
Welcome to the forum
Conceptually, the data consists of messages (javascript objects) flowing down the virtual wires in the flow. If a node absorbs a message and does not pass it on then is discarded, though there may still be other copies of it flowing down other wires in the flow.
