If you delete the app, do you still appear in the hinge directory? That’s a question that has been asked by many users of the Apple App Store, as it seems as if some apps may still be stored in the “hinge” directory even after they have been deleted. According to some users, this is because Apple may keep track of how often an app is used and may continue to store it in this directory even if it has been deleted. However, there is no evidence to support this claim and it is not clear why Apple would keep track of this information.
