When Flashing why do I still have files left over?

---

When I install a new ROM I do a data wipe/factory reset each time but I always find some things left over from the previous ROM like app settings and files.

SHouldnt the process completely blank my phone and start over? If not should I be doing this?

When u flash doing wipe factory reset u format and reinstall all system files but u don't format ur internal card for that reason u still have some app setting and u still have all ur data like music and image. If u want clear all format ur internal card from setting - storage - erase ur internal card or from recovery - format internal sd card . Be carefully ur will lost all ur data with it
