qBittorrent-nox moves removed torrent data to .Trash by default
qBittorrent & operating system versions
qBittorrent: v5.0.0 Docker: qbittorrentofficial/qbittorrent-nox
What is the problem?
When using qbittorrent-nox if the user removes a torrent with "Also remove the content files" instead of deleting the torrent files, it creates and moves to .Trash-GID.
On a headless system, there's no trash-bin so the user won't notice that the files still on the system.
Many users use *arr apps to automate the downloads, it can take a long till notice the issue.
Steps to reproduce
- Run qbittorrent-nox from system or docker
docker run --rm -it -v ./downloads:/downloads -p 8080:8080 qbittorrentofficial/qbittorrent-nox:latest - Add torrent (e.g Ubuntu) and let download partial or complete.
- Remove torrent with "Also remove the content files"
Additional context
There's no warning or "visible option" to notify the user from WebUI that the files aren't delete from the system, but instead moved to .Trash.
The option to permanent delete files on Advanced settings ("Torrent content removing mode"), which many user don't event look or mess with it.
qbittorrent-nox build should always delete files by default specially on headless systems.
