So I placed a JPEG file, then ran the Image Trace feature. Now what happened to my JPEG? It's not in the layers menu, and I can't seem to see it in the document. I want to move away from the vector date and discard it, so all I have left is the vector data.

If/when you Expand the Image Trace result, the raster image is removed from the Illustrator artboard and file. It is still resident wherever it was stored when you placed it.
