I understand the need in that situation, but it's not related to actually finding out what's stored on the device.

If you don't know whether it is there or not, it would be harder to try to find out what's stored.

Example:
Attacker looking for photos taken by N900.

Situation A
Attacker finds a folder with a few encrypted files, each ranging from 800KB to 1.2MB

Situation B
Attacker finds only a file with a 1GB encrypted content. Further studies of this file shows that the data written there looks a lot like ramdom garbage.

Isn't it clear what situation is safer?

See above.[/QUOTE]
