qBittorrent official forums

Hi guys, I have a question linked to torrents that I no longer need. When I delete them in the program, I am asked if I also want to delete these files from my hard drive. I tick the box and the files disappear from my desktop or wherever I had them. But where do they go to? They are not in the recycle bin. There is also no free disk space on my hard drive (checked the numbers before and after), so they still have to be somewhere. Can anybody tell me?
