    Collections in LR are just a Grouping of images files. They only exist inside LR.

    No images are ever inside LR. LR is a Database program that References your images into the database from where they are stored on your hard drives.

    Collections are just a Grouping of images. There are no folders involved and no space used on your hard drive.

    I suspect your are not really talking about LR Collections. In the Library module on that same left side you should see a section call Folders. Expand that and it will list all the drives and FOLDERS where your images are stored on your hard drives.

    The images are in the folders on your hard drive. The collections simply point to the files.

    Collections are similar to iTunes playlists. So you can have photos from many folders in a single collection.
