Hey everyone, I figured out the issue and wanted to share it here for others who might have the same problem. I noticed no one mentioned this, so I hope it helps.
The program does delete files correctly, but it only works for torrents that were originally downloaded through QBittorrent. When I installed QBittorrent, I migrated several torrents from uTorrent using the bt2qbt utility. When I tried to delete those, the torrents disappeared, but the files remained on the hard drive.
It was really confusing, and it took me a few weeks to start using QBittorrent with torrents that I added directly through it. When I deleted those, all files were successfully removed
So, to summarize: Files from torrents that were imported from uTorrent to QBittorrent don't get deleted, but files from torrents that are originally added to QBittorrent are deleted without any problems.
I hope this explanation is clear and helps others. I'm also going to post this same message in other threads where I asked for help. Hopefully, there won't be any issues with repetition.
