How to 'flush out' ktorrent?


Whenever I fire up ktorrent, it always wants to re-download 'missing files' etc from previous downloads. I suppose it's because once I d/l something (and seed for a bit), I quit ktorrent and move the files to a dir other than the shared dir, or remove them if I no longer want them. Then when I fire up ktorrent the next day or whenever, it's like playing whack-a-mole, clicking and clicking to stop all the requests to reload them.

It there a way to 'flush' the history/cache/whatever to keep this from occurring? I have gone through the settings, nothing looks like what I want.

This could be embarrassing. Someone could see what I was d/l'ing earlier (like the 'Barry Manilow Greatest Hits Collection' or Saturday Night Fever Karaoke Favorites)

LOL Manilow!, all you need to do is right click the file name and select remove torrent and data.

Thanks for the fast reply, Nexus.
That is what I usually do, and if you could imagine 5 or 6 torrents trying to restart, and me quickly doing the rt-click thing, it might appear that I was really playing whack-a-mole.

What I was hoping for was a way to prevent having to do just that when it starts up. Maybe ktorrent can be flushed before shutting it down? Seems I tried that before with no luck. I'll give it another go tonight.

Have a look in the ktorrent folder, it's probably hidden.
