Issue with torrent content not deleting in qBittorrent v5.0.0 #21550

qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: 5.0.0 x64 Operating system: Windows 10 Pro x64 (21H1) 19043.1200 Qt: 6.7.3 Libtorrent: 1.2.19.0

What is the problem?

Hello! I encountered the following issue – after installing the new version of qBittorrent v5.0.0, when I try to remove a torrent from the torrent list and from the disk, the content of the torrent remains on the disk, and I have to delete it manually. In previous versions of the program, everything worked perfectly, and qBittorrent deleted the torrent content from the disk.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Right-click on the torrent in the list.
  2. Select "Remove", then in the pop-up window, check the option "Also remove the content files".
  3. Go to the Windows File Explorer to the location where the torrent content is saved and verify that the content was not deleted automatically.

Duplicate of #21457. Set Settings > Advanced > Torrent content removing mode to Delete files permanently.

No such option in the webinterface

You can edit the config manually.

Set Session\TorrentContentRemoveOption=Delete under the [BitTorrent] section.

Don't forget to stop the client while editing.

It's already reverted for the next release. #21528

I had this problem as well. I have removed the "Trash" option from my drives in Windows, so everything gets deleted immediately. It seems that there may be an interaction between that setting in Windows and qBittorrent that is unexpected.
