Yes, that's where they go when you "soft" delete. I haven't been talking about that. I'm referring to a real delete. Mac OS and Windows to a lesser extent have been known to leave a bunch of junk behind referencing the deleted file even when you do a "hard" delete. Linux doesn't do this in my experience, though different file managers may handle things differently, but when I use Dophin and select "Delete" from the right-click menu, the file is gone, period.
