qBit doesn't update free space after deleting torrent (lemmy.zip)

qBit does delete the file from my physical drive (direct attached storage, raid5). But won't update the free space in the WebUI. The discrepency is over 1TB, so I'd like to address this if someone can help me.

Some info:

  • qBit v.5.0.1, docker, from linuxserver.io
  • Ubuntu 24.04
  • Automatic Management Mode is checked
  • Torrent content removing mode: Delete files permanently

Are you hard-linking it to somewhere else on the drive via any kind of automation?

For example, Sonarr can hard-link files to the directories they belong in, so that Qbit can continue seeding. If you then delete/remove the torrent/files -- then the hard link would still be there.

    It is a really good thought. Your comment prompted me to check the whole machine (SSD + raid array) and I don't have any hard-linking of media files, torrent files or anything like that. So that isn't it.

    I think it's just a bug in the system.
