If they are stored in a folder, then in that folder, add an empty .nomedia file.

Or you can add a dot(.) before file/folder name to hide it from media scanner.

Save the downloaded files in .hidden_folder_name. For example, .files. You can access it simply like other folders. For example if it is internal storage, file://mnt/sdcard/.files/ can be used.

You can use taifun file extension to delete it and specify the folder path to file:///mnt/sdcard/.files/
