As Tjoakim says, it's CLI only but very powerful and easy to batch on workstations or servers... NB : it can remove empty subdirectories too, wich is a good thing.

As Tjoakim says, it’s CLI only but very powerful and easy to batch on workstations or servers…

To delete the leftover files however, I just recently created a simble batch file with the command del D:\torrent\!new\*.loaded /f /q and set it to run at startup. An that's it, no additional software needed. This doesn't check the file age though.
