Hello,

I'll try my best to explain what's happening. I'm using qbittorrent-nox on Debian 7.6 x86_64. I have the following folders set:

active_torrents
passive_torrents
downloading
downloaded

I use active_torrents folder as watched folder and I send torrent files in it with WinSCP. It works and starts downloading and everything is ok.

However, if I check "download here" option next to watched folder and delete the torrent I'm downloading with selecting "Also delete the files on the hard disk" it also deletes my "active_torrents" folder as well and all my configuration fails. When I uncheck "download here" problem goes away.

I know this is a very small problem but I wanted to let you know.

Regards

This issue has been closed and locked for being too old, and thus either most likely resolved in recent versions or no longer applicable.
If you experience the reported problem or similar in the latest version, please open a new issue report with the requested information in the issue template.

A new issue report with relevant updated data gathered from the latest version is preferable to necroing an old report with a comment like "still happens in version x.y.z", even if you think the bug is the same, or suspect of a regression.
Due to the changes made to the qBittorrent code and its dependencies over time, the exact cause of your problem could be totally different than the original one, despite the visible symptoms of the bug being similar.
Thus, providing relevant updated information is crucial to find and fix the root cause of a recurrent problem or regression.

Thank you for your contributions.
