It seems that transmission-qt does delete the files when selecting
"delete files & remove"; but transmission-gtk (the default) moves the
"deleted" files to the trash. Note: this is using magnet links (if it
matters), so there is no ".torrent" file.  Some other forums suggest
there should be an option in "preferences->desktop" to control this
behaviour, but I don't see this option in the GUI.  (Ubuntu 14.10,
Transmission 2.82 14160)

Title:
  transmission "moves to trash" instead of promised "delete" without any
  warning / notice.

Status in transmission package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Release: 13.04 Raring
  Package: transmission-gtk 2.77 (14031)
  Package: ecryptfs-utils 103-0ubuntu2
  Kernel:  3.8.0-14-generic x86_64
  apport:  2.9.2-0ubuntu5, does not work
  Using ecryptfs = Yes
  ext4 mount options: rw,nodiratime,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro

  This used to happen on 12.10 Quantal as well.

  download something.

  Check the used disk space "df -h" or "du -s /home/.ecryptfs"
  Select your torrent, Right click, select "Delete files and remove", confirm.
  Check your disk space again.

  Expected: appropriate amount of space immediately freed up.
  Got: No space was freed, not even after closing transmission

  Apport is still broken on Raring, see #1150335
