Why are the answers that I have written to some questions gets deleted from my dashboard. I get it if the question owner deletes the question it gets removed from public view, but the content that I have written should at least keep reflecting in my own board at least I think until I delete it.

This is how it works programmatically everywhere…
There is a database table or model of all questions where all questions are stored and there is another model/table for storing all answers in relation with the question model. When a specific question is deleted, all answers are also deleted of the same question because they are in relation with each other.
No, I don’t think it is the complete truth. Removed posts and questions are still available to authors and deletion in this sort of platform means visibility change not hard delete at DB level.
Once a question goes to public forum the ownership no longer stays with user who created it, he can hide his details and detach himself from it but the post or questions shouldn’t be hard removed in principle.
