I'm just curious to know that when I create a sharing rule for account via sharing settings. I want to know on which object the sharing rule record is getting stored when I create the sharing rule for account object.

Sharing rules are usually present in the metadata .So metadata API will have definitions of your rule .

Salesforce recommends to use this for all updates to sharing rules .

However under the hood salesforce has tables named as "OwnerSharingRules" for each object where you have these sharing rules .

However to enable these object for your org you will need to contact salesforce for same .

Check the documentation on the same here in SOAP API GUIDE .You will see for Account we have AccountOwnerSharingRule Object .

    You will need to use destructive XML for deletion .I would recommend to explore that option
