Forcedly remove content of folder

There are two type of torrent download you can usually get:

1) a single file e.g. SIngleFileMovie.mkv
2) a folder containing one or more files e.g. My movie 1080p (2010) containing
movie 2010.mkv
poster.jpg
do not mirror.exe
subtitles\english.srt
subtitles\spanish.srt

So talking about case 2) only , say I want to e.g. re-encode, extract additional subtitles from the .mkv etc, I often forget behind files so when from qbittorent I go deleting the torrent + content, the torrent root folder on the filesystem would not be removed if it contains any extra file not part of the torrent itself.

So currently when removing a torrent from the GUI we have two options:
a) remove torrent only
b) remove content (content list provided by the torrent itself)

I would suggest to implement an additional case c) which forcedly removes the torrent parent folder My movie 1080p (2010) regardless of its content.

Thanks

b) remove content (content list provided by the torrent itself)

I would suggest to implement an additional case c) or d): Also remove .torrent file from Harddisk.

I want this because I want to have my .torrent files synchronized with my running torrents in my qBittorrent client.
In this case its easy to make a client shift or PC shift, because in that way I only have to press the .torrent files and then my new qBittorrent client (on a new PC) is running exactly as before the shift.

Now I have to manually take care of this.

The utorrent client has this feature, so I hope You will implement this relatively simple feature in a comming release.


Thanks in advance
