Android Internal Storage when updating application

Question

I use the internal storage (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal) to store some necessary application files, that the user creates.

I suppose that these files are stored forever right? They are removed only when the user uninstalls the application, am I correct?

In case of updating the application (for example from version 1.0 to 1.1) through the Android Market, then what will happen to the files that were stored from the previous version? Are they deleted or not?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

In case of updating the application (for example from version 1.0 to 1.1) through the Android Market, the files that were stored from the previous version will be there on the device and if you uninstall the app to get the new version then the files will be deleted.
