This will behave exactly the same as with a non-encrypted device. The encryption layer just translates the raw encrypted device into a raw non-encrypted device, which for all intents and purposes (except performance) can be treated the same as a non-encrypted device. The filesystem sits on top of that and difficulty-level of recovering deleted files depends on the filesystem used. For example, with ext2/3 it is pretty difficult, but you may find fragments easily if you know what you are looking for. With FAT is is generally easy. BTRFS, XFS, ZFS, etc. I have no idea.
