iPadOS 16.5 - iPad doesn’t consider Firefox’s downloads folder files deleted.

Hello. My occupation requires me to deal with videos, often heavy unedited videos and I usually download and upload those through Firefox. However these videos can become quite heavy on the hard disk especially in numbers. However, when deleting them in the download folder (through the Files app on the iPad), either Firefox or the iPad doesn’t consider them deleted and their weight is still present, though the file is clearly not in this world anymore. This amounts to dozens of gigabytes of data that I can’t delete, except if I completely remove and reinstall the Firefox app which can be quite annoying especially when dealing with account syncing.

Is this a known issue ? Is there a fix besides reinstalling the app ?

Thank you for any help.
