Deletion documents

[dedonnodev]

Hi there,
what happens when you have a document in the cache that has been deleted via server outside from flutter?
Is there any logic that checks if the documents in the cache still exist?

I know that it should delete it from the cache if you were to have an active stream listener based on the expectations from this issue: firebase/flutterfire#9564.

I'm not sure though if for example, you fetch document A, then close the app, then delete document A on the server, then reopen the app and then fetch document A from the server, whether the fact that it fails to fetch document A deletes the cached document A or not. Hmm. I think this is a question for Firestore itself. I'm not sure how it handles that case. I suspect that it might remain in the cache.

I'll look through the docs more and ask around.
