µTorrent no longer recognizes my external hard drive

Solved

The main problem is that it thinks there is no more space on my external hard drive, even though there is still space available. Moreover, all the torrents I have on my hard drive are no longer recognized.

In short, I can't seed on my external hard drive.

    Good evening
    Be careful, I'm not very familiar with uTorrent (I'm a fan of eMule), but I believe the software must allocate the necessary space for the complete file from the start for each download request.

    Initially, I already had torrents on my hard drive, but now µtorrent is telling me that the files are missing even though they haven't been moved or modified. And I can't add anything else through µtorrent, but I still have several gigabytes free.

    Is the path to the directory or the drive letter has changed?

    Nothing has changed, except for µtorrent which had an update. But the problem started a little earlier.

    The problem occurred before the update. But maybe it's because I cleaned my computer with CCleaner...

    Have you cleaned the registry?

    I just applied it everywhere. I'm going to try uninstalling and then reinstalling µTorrent.
    I'll let you know if it worked or not afterwards.

    Just to be sure, if I uninstall and then reinstall a torrent software, will the torrents I had previously come back naturally?
    If that's the case, no change, my hard drive still has no space for the files.

    I found the problem! I hadn’t noticed, but my hard drive changed from H: to J: I don’t know how that happened, but I just need to change the destination folders for all of them.

    Thank you for your help.

      My second proposal was the right one, proof that the simplest things are not always obvious.
      Best of luck!
