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

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

Graphical applications should definitely do this, it's rather easy to hit delete accidentally but in CLI? I wanna see a cat type rm and some valid parameters, so if the user typed the whole command out it should probably do just the one exact (destructive) thing.
