ehcpdeveloper (ehcpdeveloper) wrote : items private directory is visible in ~/.Private even when not mounted

i floowed commands on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory to create a private dir.

i mounted it, then put something in it.
then unmounted Private dir.
now Private dir contains only "THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA -- Run mount.ecryptfs_private to mount again"
but,
when i got to ~/.Private dir, i can see all private files...

this should not be i think...

why those files are stored there ?
they can be visible by anyone that gets disk.

thanks, hope you success in Ubuntu.....
