Entries in datareporting/archived despite telemetry being disabled
I have telemetry (every checkbox under "Firefox Data Collection and Use") disabled, but noticed that the datareporting/archived directory contains telemetry files. Is this expected, or does this indicate a bug that shows that telemetry is being sent?
The file paths have the format:
<profile dir>/datareporting/archived/2025-09/<unixtimestamp>.<uuid>.main.jsonlz4 <profile dir>/datareporting/archived/2025-09/<unixtimestamp>.<uuid>.events.jsonlz4

Very interesting... I also see files and I always have those optioned unchecked. see screenshot
I'm also asking the question over here. https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#nightly:mozilla.org
