Object *p = new Object();
delete p;

When I delete p, the object allocation on the heap is deleted. But what exactly happens to p itself? Is it deleted from the stack? or is it still in the stack and still contains the address of the memory that previously held Object?

    p is still on the stack and holds the address of the Object you’ve just deleted. You are free to reuse p, assigning it to point at other allocated data or NULL / nullptr.
