100% correct.

When you're deleting from GCS, are you using the Java GCS library? Try
using the function BlobstoreService.delete(blobkey) here:

I would bet that internally, App Engine needs to record the uploads as
blobs (and also show them in the blob viewer) so it can do blob
manipulations on them (for instance, ImageService and getServingUrl both
take BlobKey references).

Being charged twice is clearly an error though. Are you sure you're being
charged twice over, or is it just that the quota is shown twice? You may
want to file an issue in the tracker
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list .
