IPFS Desktop uses go-ipfs implementation of IPFS behind the scenes. It runs with garbage-collection enabled by default, but it gets triggered only when your ephemeral cache is 90% full.
When you remove a file from Files (MFS) and/or unpin it, related blocks may remain in ephemeral cache for some time.

You can change default behavior via Settings screen – see relevant config docs.
