No, it is you that is misunderstanding. If locate says files exist but when you look using the ls command or a file manager then they do not exist then it is locate that is at fault. If ls and the file manager do not show the files then they do not exist (unless they are hidden files in which case you would be able to see them by enabling the showing of hidden files in the file manager or using ls -a). For all the files that you think still exist check by means other then locate. If you cannot find them then they do not exist.
