Suggestion

Remove the lock icon and the "delete files" checkbox, and replace it with a third button, so that whenever the dialog box is shown, the user can take the appropriate action with a single click.

Use case

Currently the dialog box contains two buttons, remove or cancel, a checkbox to for deleting files and a lock icon to remember the checkbox status.
The presence of the lock icon is confusing, it doesn't make it clear if the "remember choice" refers only to the checkbox status or if it's a choice for the dialog box itself.

I have been using qbittorrent for many years now, and I never clicked the lock icon, because I thought it would make whatever choice I made in that moment permanent, and that the dialog box would not be displayed for future actions. After figuring its purpose, I started using.

It didn't solve the situation I deal with the most: 50% of the time I need to delete files, 50% I only want to remove from list. No matter what state of the checkbox, the dialog box will always be displayed, and I still need to either check or uncheck the box based on my current need.
