It'll go to random nodes, and if those chunks have zero popularity they'll get discarded pretty quickly. The exact details would depend on client settings but probably don't matter for a general answer.

For content that is never accessed, you have lifetimes between 2 weeks (bigger than 4 MiB) and 3 months (smaller than 2kiB).

Content that is accessed regularly can stay around indefinitely.
