Why permanently deleted pictures still visible on playlist edit option?

[#1]

Recently I found out that the pictures I had deleted permanently from my device storage are still visible on the Spotify app when I tried changing the image of the playlist I created. And even after clearing the cache of the app, the permanently deleted files were still visible and I even checked if the pictures could actually be used as the thumbnail of the playlist and yes it was possible, this involves an individual's personal data and information privacy. This is a serious matter.

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community. 

Would you mind letting us know the make, model and OS version of the device in which this is happening? 

Also, just to confirm, have you made sure that these pictures are not duplicated on your device? It'd be helpful if you could send a screenshot where we can take a better look at what's going on. You can attach it to your next response to us by using the Insert Photos option in the post editor. 

Lastly, could you give it a try using a different device to see if you can replicate this behavior?

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

I found this 3 days ago. I am a programmer. For some project i encrypted some photos. Spotify app sees deleted and encrypted photos on my phone.
