This has been a common method used in malware, root kits, droppers etc
for many years. Often files are hidden within alt data streams in trash
can and temp file spaces in particular.
Make a file hidden and system in trash can directors and the system
won't clean it up and it will be largely invisible. The alt stream
directory content can hide there for a long time.
I guess this explains why people often can't figure out what's wrong with
their PC and they end up reformatting and reinstalling the OS. I guess
some of the better malware detectors know what to do.
