I fine that when Im seeding a few torrents and just wanna remove one, by mistake I click on Clear and it removes all completed downloads without notification. Maybe I turned off the notification...
If you cant remove the button I hope the dev team considers adding a notification ^_^

I've considered just removing this function from 0.6.. Does anyone actually use it?

i do. it's just silly to get rid of something because one user hits the wrong button.

I meant remove the button as in customizable toolbar or something, not removing it from the program

I wasn't considering removing it for that reason, this topic just made me think about it some more.. I am not sure of the current behaviour because I have never used the function before, but how does it differentiate between 'Finished' and 'Not Finished' torrents? Is it purely based on total_downloaded vs total_wanted, or does it take other things into consideration, such as desired ratio?

I guess what I am getting at is, how do we decide what is 'Finished'? Torrents don't necessarily finish when the download portion is over as there is seeding to be done.. When is a torrent truly finished, if ever? Would simply renaming the button to 'Remove Seeding Torrents' better illustrate it's purpose?

right now it doesn't take ratio into account, just that it's done downloading total_wanted. i see your point and you're right. i'll rename it in 0.5.x.
