Qbittorrent doesn't delete ".unwanted" dir

Current versions:

qBittorrent: 2.6.7+svn.r5268-0ubuntu1~maverick
libtorrent-rasterbar: 0.15.5+svn.r5315-0ubuntu1~maverick

I tried to reproduce but it did remove the folder here.

BEFORE removing the torrent, was this .unwanted folder empty?
How about AFTER removing the torrent?

OK... If you tried on the same platform please find some other details. maybe they'll help.

1. .unwanted is only created if I am trying to do partial download. I mean, not downloading all files in the torrent. In this case, even if I delete the torrent from qB, it doesn't delete the .unwanted dir.

2. # ll .unwanted/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-03-10 20:49 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-03-10 18:24 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47 2011-03-10 20:49 Torrent downloaded from Demonoid.com.txt

3. Mount options for / in fstab:
UUID=ff272171-95cb-4733-aa1a-48a6ee076188 / ext4 noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro,data=writeback,user_xattr 0 1

I am the root.

Yes, I have the exact same platform as you.

What kind of deletion are you testing?
  - Simple deletion of the torrent from the list?
  - Deletion of the torrent and its files on the hard disk?

I tested the second and it worked fine.
Regarding the first one, simple deletion from the list should NOT affect the actual storage on the hard disk (thus .unwanted is kept). Note that the partial files in the .unwanted directory are also required for later seeding of the torrent.

The first deletion type.

I understand that there is reason to keep the .unwanted directory in this case. But I think many users will not even be knowing that they are adding more and more .unwanted directories as they are going on downloading more torrents.

If we may take uTorrent as a reference (which I used long back though), I never noticed that there is anything other than the files I needed when the torrent is removed.

Can it be made optional by using some setting in preferences menu and leave it up to the user to decide?

I agree that this behavior can be annoying. I used to delete these unwanted files on "soft" deletion but then I started to get bug reports like "qBittorrent deleted my files". It seems some users do weird things like:
- After torrent completion, they unselect all files but one and then force recheck the torrent (to recheck only one of the files). Then when they delete the torrent, it removes the downloaded files because they were unselected afterwards...

I do agree that having an option would be an adequate solution. I'll add this soon.

Thank you :)

This should be fixed in next release. Thanks!

Thanks again!
