   I was vaguely aware of files (pictures) not being removed immediately,   
   but staying available for 30 days or so.   
      
   I have Total Commander on my phone and when I remove files the name is   
   changed.

   I don't think Android's File Manager shows these hidden files, but I   
   believe they're automatically removed after 30 days.
