SUMMARY
When accessing files from inside kde plasma vault a link is created to them in the recent files, same for folders inside the vault. When closing the vault these files change nsme to -0 or -1 but hovering over them in the file manager shows they still link to a file inside of the vault, and while that file is mo longer accessible it's name is saved in the recent files link. This is a confidentiality problem. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open vault and access files
2.  Close vault
3.  Open recent files folder and find files named -0 -1 etc

OBSERVED RESULT
-0 ( Points to ~/Vaults/vaultname/filename_inside_vault) 

EXPECTED RESULT
Links from recent files should be deleted when vault is locked, or not saved there in the first place
