All deleted files with another file explorer or device cleaning app show up still in this tab in the default files app (com.android.documentsui) even though absent from device.
Solutions
Strangely with the default files app (com.android.documentsui) selecting deleted files still showing in downloads quick tab and then moving them to download folder on device vanishes them. Keep in mind deleting files in the download folder with the default files app (com.android.documentsui) instead of another file explorer or device cleaning app makes the files disappear in the downloads quick tab too.
Possible fixes
Re-writing app code
