Only one person (two with the duplicate report) felt it was important enough 
to follow up on developer questions (not the original poster, nor any of the 
20 or so support voters). That makes it *very* low priority...

But if you remove the album *with all image files in it* you do NOT need those 
sidecars anymore. And if you moved the image files out of the album prior to 
deletion, you already most likely have lost the link between image file and 
sidecar, again making the latter worthless. This is certainly the case for raw 
files, which should not be written to (that's a good way to lose data as 
well).

And this makes you sound like a troll...
