Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

v4.2.5 / Windows 10 Pro v1809 (10.0.17763)

If on linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version

(type here)

What is the problem

Completed torrent files were moved to correct folder. I have confirmed that the downloaded files are intact. It was so for a few days but I noticed that they were moved to an incomplete folder set by the option "Keep incomplete torrents in" with the "!qB" extension appended.

What is the expected behavior

My understanding is that the completed torrent files should stay in the correct folder.

Steps to reproduce

Unknown.
However, qbittorent

Extra info(if any)

When I check the torrent at the qbittorrent Transfer window. It has a completed date but an incomplete status. If I resume the torrent. It completes.

I am not sure if this is the case, but if I deleted unwanted files. Can the rest of the files be moved to incomplete folder?

What do you mean by "unwanted"? Previously downloaded but then "unchecked"?

Torrent may contain 3 files. I may have deleted one of them from windows explorer or other 3rd party programs.
