What you mention only works if there are a few torrents, in my case that does not work because I don't know the name of the torrents and they are many torrents/files

The thing is that I deleted the .torrent without the content, so those files only get in the way and I want to delete them completely, I don't even remember the names of the torrents or the trackers

The only thing I can think about is to erase the whole contents of the seedbox, to be sure, but that would be very damaging to me since I have old torrents and things that I don't want to erase, even torrents where I am the last seeder

Only solution may be writing them all down. Let's see people who know IT has to offer.

I assume that you can open your seedbox in FTP/SFTP via filezilla as per above

Go to the folder that hosts all your downloaded content, highlight them all, then right click on one of them and make the selection "Copy (URLs) to clipboard.

Open Excel "If you have and paste the content there" , then use "text to columns" and set your width as next column just before your file name starts, in my case it would be here "/files/downloads/"HERE"Oceans.Eight.2018.MULTi.1080p , all your files / folders would be in each row.

From your torrent client, do also an export of all your current seeding torrents, it will also give you a list of all your torrent names, paste those also in a new Tab in Excel.

In Sheet1 you should have all your FTP names in column 1 and on Sheet2 you should have all your seeding torrents name.

In Sheet1 you should then do a VLOOKUP against Sheet1,Row1,Column against Sheet2, Row1:Row"Where It Ends".

An example of the vlookup command should be something like this on Sheet1,Column3, Row1: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A$1:A20000,1,FALSE),"To rrent Deleted")

Thus, if a torrent name is not found from your FTP list against your seeding list on Sheet2, it will mark it with "Torrent Deleted", else, if it is still seeding, it will show the torrent name.

I hope this helps

I was about to suggest something similar to what SpiderCrawler did.
It it probably the wisest thing to do.

Another thing that might work is to create a new folder inside your “files” folder. Name it 00 for example.
Than select all your torrents from rutorrent and use “save to” option and transfer everything into this new folder.

Whatever is left on the original folder is something that is not active in your client.

Downsides:
If you are an organized person and likes to keep everything on folders, you will lose it.
Your client might crash a couple times if you try to do it on a large quantity of torrents at the same time.

@SpiderCrawler Thanks, it will be useful, I will try it

@isNN If I do that, will they still working and sharing the torrents?

@Rhialto I know, that's why I said "I deleted them by accident" in the first post

It does. You just need to ensure that “Move data files” and “Fast Resume” are enabled.
I use it all the time to move files/folders from and to my Plex watch folders.

The only thing I don’t know is how the client will react if you try to process several at a time, I’ve only done with 5 or less at a time.
Also, if you seed the same file into several different trackers, it could give some errors if you mass transfer it.
