Full disk (/partition) encryption means you don’t know what files there are until you decrypt. Additionally for that sort of encryption scenario you fill the partition with random data first so you can’t tell files from empty space (unless the attacker can watch the drive over time).
won’t they know there are files they haven’t decrypted?
if it could hide or delete the remaining files encrypted that would be nifty.
