Question - Seedbox Copyright Notice - Remove Files too? (self.piracy)

Is it enough to stop sharing a movie in response to a copyright complaint given to a seedbox or does the file have to be deleted as well? I removed the movie from the bittorent client, and the seedbox automated system says I'm compliant, but does the movie file also have to be deleted as well?

Edit: For further clarification, the seedbox explicitly states that the file has to be removed as well. But their automated system says I'm compliant by removing the torrent from the p2p client?

Legally they have to tell you to delete all copies you have of it, but it's rare for companies to actually check, and they usually consider removing the torrent as sufficient. You should probably delete the file from the seedbox just in case.
