I deleted roughly 60GB of data within the app but my phone (and Material Files) still shows that the space has been used. Storage space is maxed out. How do I fix this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing deletion of roughly 60GB within Material Files and compare the reported space on the phone with Material Files. Confirm whether the deleted data remains allocated after deletion, and document the Android and app conditions needed to reproduce it; the issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point.
