# File in documents Directory after deletion

Hi [Expert](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13120/an-expert-financial-advice-will-improve-your-finances),\
I created an **[sqlite](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1554/crud-operation-in-asp-dot-net-using-sqlite-database)** [file](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/59/encrypting-and-decrypting-files-using-c-sharp)[or any file] in [documents](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/156931/the-main-types-of-business-documents) [directory](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/226/how-to-get-application-directory-using-c-sharp-csharp) in **[ios](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12222/core-data-and-how-to-use-it-in-ios-objective-c)** [device](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/149/retriving-network-device-information-in-c-sharp).If i removed the app ([delete](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33620/how-to-delete-record-from-list-in-mvc-using-ajax)) from the device this file stays or get removed?\

Hi Jacob,\
The sandbox of an application deletes automatically when you delete the app. It happens in both your device and in iOS simulator.\
I hope it helpful for you.
