They are not flags, but rather pennants. From what I could find, the teams exchange the pennants and bring back to their host nations/practice facilities to display who was played in past World Cups. It is basically done for tradition, but seems to be a symbol of respect for the game.

What happens to all the information in a partition if you delet the partition?

The information is technically still there. When a partition is "deleted", only the flags that indicate where it stops and starts are removed. The flags can be put back, and the files will be accessible, just as they were before.
