> Removing a file with:
> function deleteFile(filePath) {
>     var pathToFile = cordova.file.applicationStorageDirectory + "cache" + filePath;
>     window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(pathToFile, function (fileEntry) {
>       fileEntry.remove(function () {
>         console.log("File removed with the path: " +  pathToFile)
>       }, errorHandler.bind(null, filePath));
>     }, errorHandler.bind(null, filePath));
>   }
> This seems to work, because I get a success callback and when I search the directory with a directoryReader I see that the files are removed. Everything checks out except that the file size in the android application manager stays the same.
> e.g. a file gets added to the cache/ directory in the applicationStorageDirectory. It's 1mb big. I check the application manager and the temporary files got 1mb bigger. I check with directoryReader and I see the file.
> The I delete the file with above mentioned function. No errors, just a success callback. I check again with directoryReader, the file is gone.
> But the temporary files are still 1mb bigger than before even though the file should have been deleted.
> I flagged this as major as I don't have found a workaround
