One wrong choice of priority, and there deletes your files in your torrent. One whoops. What do you think about sending it to the recycle bin instead? I'm sure there would be good and bad with that.

Ah, thanks. Perhaps there can be an option later to choose to option or permanently delete. But thank you for the addition.

When the files are moved to the recycle bin, though, the files are mangled. There's really nothing worth salvaging, except maybe some end pieces, under 10kB in size. I know I recently did a search for existing data files, internal link, to an external hard drive, and then I selected the files and "delete" and they all ended up gone, just garbage files in the recycle bin, couldn't restore them.

That's right - you delete incomplete files you end up with incomplete files

as-muncher commented 2 years ago

No, complete files get deleted as incomplete files.
