based on the fact that morphomon's egg randomly reformed 8 years after she lost her digimon, it seems that they dont actually "go away" and just turned into data. they dont say how, but menoa was able to track down the data of morphomon and then spent a few years trying to manually reformat the data so that she could get morphomon back only for it to randomly reformat on its own when parrotmon showed up.

so based on that, I guess they could track down agumon, gabumon's etc data and then just... wait for it to reformat on its own like morphomon's did.

based on the fact they stated that 02 is canon and we see them have their digimon in 2028, I guess thats exactly what happened.

the digivices turned to stone to signify that their digimon were gone. note that sora's was shown as stone halfway into the movie meaning she lost biyomon way before anyone else lost theirs (guess thats their excuse for why biyomon didnt fight. also means the biyomon sora was playing with in the netherworld was a fake created from her memories. same for meicoomon)

as for "where do the digimon go?", theyre just data that cant be reborn, like tapirmon in Tri. but we see with morphomon that you can actually find this data and store it on a computer.
