In certain cases (e.g., when you Replace in during a copying operation), the
 Workspace Manager will make a copy of the old, clobbered file for you.

Although this is a nice feature is you occasionally bash things accidentally,
 it does have some strange side-effects (like disk space going away if you
 forget to periodically clean the trash).
