When removing a torrent with "Also remove the content files" instead of deleting the files it moves to .Trash-ID, even on headless/docker systems.

Set to delete files: Settings -> Advanced -> Torrent content removing mode: Delete files permanently

Issue https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/21497

PS: There's a pull request to revert back to delete https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/21528

Do I have to manually delete the trash files after changing the setting?

Yes, if you're using a system package check the root of your drive (/mnt/sdb/.Trash-1000), if it's docker (e.g. -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads) should be /path/to/downloads:/downloads/.Trash-$PID

Awesome. Thanks!

you could always symlink .Trash to /dev/null if you don't care about potential accidents
