Hi Sebastián, 160MB is a lot of data, I think it is a must to save that much to SD card (I'm not sure how much is the common internal phone storage, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would be around 256MB in common cases).
Although I have to disappoint you, I think there is no way to prevent user from accessing the data on SD card (this link supports my thoughts http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal). You cypher the data somehow to prevent other applications from reading it successfully, although you are going to have to check for the data availability everytime you want to access it and throw an error message when they are not found (they actually don't have to be deleted, mounting SD card as mass storage to computer is enough to make them "disappear" to you).
