Remove torrent button deletes torrent.

[tcm13 0]

This is a recent problem, one I've not had in many years of BitTorrent use.

When I try to remove a torrent from the application using the remove button, it deletes the downloaded file and the torrent file which are located in different locations. 

Nothing has been changed, makes no difference if the file is seeding, stopped or paused, it deletes the entry and file.

This started some hours ago and I've checked the settings and Windows settings.

BitTorrent Pro 7.9.9 on Windows 10 Pro all updates current.

in advanced, what is gui.default_del_action set to?

Hi,

gui.default_del_action  is set to *3

[Harold Feit 15]

The actual default of that setting is 0.

3 corresponds to the "Remove and Delete .torrent and data" function.

Thanks. That seems to have fixed it.

No idea how that value got changed. Though it seems my security suite (Kaspersky Total) has been changing settings without prompting. Time to change.

 

Thank you again.

My settings seem to change to *3 from *0, by its self  ever 10 to 15 days. Any idea  why? I've changed from Kaspersky to Bitdefender hoping to a avoid this scenario, also checking the log files; no evidence.

No idea what keeps causing your settings to change.
