What if I delete a crypto wallet that still has a bit of crypto in it? For example, will the Bitcoins left in a wallet I would delete disappear forever, never to return into cirulation? (I actually did this a few times already, except that they were accounts of crypto faucets....)

Yes. They leave circulation.

This is what is know as 'burning coins'.
