Deleting downloaded file of uninstalled app.

[TheNilvarg]

When I uninstall an app I've downloaded from the market, does anyone know whether or not the phone actually deletes the files originally downloaded for the app? I know that the Market's "downloads" screen shows the file as still available for install, so I was confused as to whether or not the Droid actually frees up this space on its own.

Yes, the app and it's files are completely deleted from the internal memory, the market only shows the link to the app. However, any files the app wrote to the SD card stay, you'll have to delete them manually. Those are sometimes backups, so you might want to keep them if you ever plan to reinstall.
