Is there a way to delete only torrent files when deleting from the client?

Hi,

I am a switcher form uTorrent and I am very satisfied with qBittorrent.
I miss only 1 feature.
In uTorrent when you rightclick a torrent to delete it you have the option for:
- delete only from the client (torrent file and data kept)
- delete from the client and the torrent file (data kept)
- delete from the client and the torrent file and the data

I used the second one always.
I added a torrent file and kept it till I finished my seeding then when I deleted it from the uTorrent client I deleted the torrent file with it automatically.
Now when I delete something from qBittorrentI have to look for the torrent file and delete it manually since the only option the client has is to delete the data too.

Is there any way to do it like I did on uTorrent? So on deletion from the client, automatically delete the torrent file too?

Many thanks for your help!

When you add a torrent, qbt copies the .torrent into it's BT_backup folder. It doesn't track from where that .torrent came. Each time qbt is started it loads every .torrent file it finds inside its BT_backup folder. When you remove a torrent from the list qbt deletes the corresponding .torrent file from the BT_backup folder. It doesn't know where that .torrent file came from. It's your responsibility to delete it. Usually browsers download to the Temp folder and launch qbt and after that they delete the .torrent file.
