I don't know if it's possible to delete the WHOLE folder when a file (such as a subtitle .srt) has been automatically added to the torrent files (VLC does add automatically subtitle).
Right now QB delete the files it downloaded (awesome!), but the (movie) folder remains if a subtitle has been added to that folder. So you end up with many folders which only contains srt files (since the torrent files have been deleted).

qbittorrent/libtorrent cannot / will not / should not, delete 'files' that are NOT part of the payload, and the operating system (all of them) will NOT remove a folder that still has a file or files in it, when responding to an external delete command.

@chrishirst commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2015): qbittorrent/libtorrent cannot / will not / **should not**, delete 'files' that are NOT part of the payload, and the operating system (all of them) will NOT remove a folder that still has a file or files in it, when responding to an external delete command.

Is this possible remove the torrent file? The torrent file is in download folder.
I download file in QB. Then done. Now delete, it comes window(delete download from the list in QB and delete the downloaded file from system). But I need a more option. Delete the torrent file in download folder.

It already does, if you read the forum thread that is linked in the second post it explains why this option is simply not necessary.

I think he means delete the file from where that torrent came from. Not the copied one as #1606 wants.
