Radarr: Delete movie from torrent client & Radarr

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using Radarr with qBittorrent and my usual workflow is that I start a download through searching a movie in Radarr and then seed it as long as possible. From time to time I need to delete movies to make space on my server.

I do that through using these steps: "Edit Movie / Delete / Delete all files". This means that the hard link in "/media/Movie Name 2019" and the entry seen in Radarr get cleaned up as expected. This means that then I manually have to go into my torrent client, find the movie there and delete it from there too.

Describe the solution you'd like
As Radarr already is the single source of truth with a mapping of files to the entry in the torrent client it would be ideal if "Delete all files" would either also remove the torrent / files from the torrent client or that there's a second option to enable "Delete from Radarr also deletes from torrent client". I think would make the whole workflow easier as you don't have to manually keep track of what's still seeding and what's available in Radarr (and by extension then Plex which looks at the /media/ directory in my case)

Beautiful mockup:

Additional context
I'm sure there's a reason for the current behaviour so I'm curious how other people deal with that. Do people just use the "delete when completed" option in Radarr? I'd prefer not to do that as I like to seed as long as possible (if space allows).

feature request maybe one day

The closest you can get right now is to have your torrent client set your seed time/ratio goals appropriately. In the port of Sonarr's v3 -> Radarr, you can set this in Radarr. But it still doesn't quite meet your goal. My only real objection to your feature is that it'd be very easy to give yourself HnRs. Since you'd have your torrent client setup to pause when goals are met, the only thing this really saves is going to your torrent client and removing any appropriate paused torrents.

I think a nice alternative would be to at least show these torrents again in the queue as unmapped so I could decide to delete them from there.

I'd like to +1 this option because it would be useful to delete a torrent from a download client when deleting a movie added by a list. Having a toggle option would mean only have to do actions within radarr instead of duplicating the task in the download client. Isn't removal semi-added already since things can be deleted from the download client on the queue page? And radarr already knows which torrents were added for which movies (history section for each movie).
