Description

UWP file download naming is inconsistent and sometimes wrong.

  1. Sometimes the reported file name is not the correct one (in case there are duplicates then deletions), also if you remove and delete a downloaded file and later redownload it the file counter doesn't reset and you get an ever growing number suffix
  2. There's a buildup of downloaded files in a folder within the app's data folder. I guess files are copied instead of moved to the download folder once download is finished. This probably explains some of the naming inconsistencies.
