what do you expect. You have a service on your phone that claims to
delete messages.
 This is a Linux based operating system ( iOS ) and your crying about
the fact you do not have lower-level support to an operating system
that claims to delete something when it is not deleted?
 When you "delete" stuff in various formats ( exfat, ext,
NTFS ) you literally have to understand that these formats becomes
better and better at data-recovery.
 What is occuring is the file is being marked deleted but the deleted
file is actually being preserved as the "Last space to be
written". So as long as you have space your pictures and previews
will be intact. You have to fill the entire space of the drive by
writing zeros, or even making a really big recording.
