Check Media does not detect/delete trashed media files properly

[KurisuAndo]

Checked for duplicates?

• This issue is not a duplicate

Does it also happen in the desktop version?

• This bug does not occur in the latest version of Anki Desktop

What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

1. Delete some cards with media files on the desktop app.
2. Use Check Media twice to delete unused files and clear the trash folder, then sync.
3. Open AnkiDroid, sync, then Check Media (it will display "No unused or missing files found").
4. Open the media.trash folder on the AnkiDroid folder to see the (supposedly) deleted file(s) there.

Expected behaviour

Media files that have been completely deleted on the desktop version should not be put into the trash folder of the Android version. Even if it is the expected behavior, Check Media should still be able to detect these files on the trash folder (but it does not).

(Optional) Anything else you want to share?

Something weird also happens when I try to delete unused media using the Check Media feature on AnkiDroid. The files are deleted without being sent to the media trash folder, however when synced, the file is kept in the trash folder of the desktop version (but not on the android trash folder). It works the way I expect it to on the desktop version, it is just on this app that I can observe this behavior.

Research

• I have checked the manual and the FAQ and could not find a solution to my issue
• (Optional) I have confirmed the issue is not resolved in the latest alpha release (instructions)
