2 years ago Good News! In the /config/qBittorrent/data/BT_backup you can cat .fastresume files and grep for your catagory name and see which files to delete. With a little minor scripting all the torrent and fastresume files were deleted if they met my purge catagory grep and when I started my container the torrents were removed from the specific catagory. Files that were downloaded in the interum were still there but they are in a single directory so that's a single rm -r away.
I was an absolute genius and added 4000 magnet links to my server, took the precation to create a different catagory to mass delete them if they were useless. But my dumbass didn't create another docker container for it and now the whole webui does not load, I think it's just timing out trying to load the <4000 torrents. I wanna know if there is any way to remove a the offending catagory via config or cli commands so I can actually see the web ui. btw logs show nothing useful.
