qBittorrent version and Operating System

Windows 10 Home (10.0.1xxxx)
qBittorrent 4.3.3

What is the problem

I have Also delete the files on the hard disc set. When deleting a torrent containing a disc image, that i forgot to unmount, or executable, that's still running, all files but the one in question would be deleted and no error/warning would arise to notify user about that.

What is the expected behavior

User should be notified about file being in use, (probably) asked for further actions, and, if possible, nothing should be deleted before that.

Steps to reproduce

Download an Ubuntu image torrent and remember location;
Mount the image;
Delete torrent with files;
Check the location for image file.

Extra info(if any)

A more generalized take on issue #9153.
