What happens when you delete a file depends a lot on what happens when you write it. When a file is written, it ends up in several places at once. When it is deleted, it doesn't go away, and neither do the other artifacts generated when the file is first opened. Hear more from computer forensics expert Steve Burgess:
I totally agree daving a file is easy but deleting it is tuely hard, for some programes dlls will be embeded to the framework and if you truely need to delete it completley you have no choise but to have a new window

It is virtually impossible to remove all traces of a file, however, useing a tool such as "move on bot" gets rid of just about any file you wish.
