How to clear history of saved locations

Post by HoralkaEU »

Hi there! I searched the wiki but couldn't find the answer there.
Basically, I need to clear the history of where I saved my torrents. The drop down menu when you start a torrent and you select where you want to save it on HDD. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for reply

You don't list the Operating System you are using, you need to edit the configuration file, it can be found in the following directories:

Linux:
/home/username/.config/qBittorrent/
Which contains the configuration files.

Windows:
Windows uses the following folders:

"C:\Documents and settings\username\Application Data\qbittorrent"
"C:\Documents and settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\qbittorrent"

Edit "qBittorrent.conf" and look for the following section:

"[TorrentAdditionDlg]
save_path_history="

Hello There! I too want to remove the previous places where QBittorrent has save files. There is no config file in the Local/appdata/QBittorrent folder on Windows 10. Should I look in the actual program folder? Thanks!

Actually, I DID find the config file in the main program folder, but this was all that was in it:

[Paths]
Translations = translations

[Platforms]
;WindowsArguments = dpiawareness=1

Hey, for me it was

Code: Select all

c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent\qBittorrent.ini
and line SavePathHistory= under [AddNewTorrentDialog]
