do not, ever, run deluge as root or sudo. ever. as a user, not root, do this in a command prompt:
`rm -rf ~/.config/deluge && sudo rm -rrf ~/.config/delgue` and then you should be able to start deluge, as user

ok thanks for the advice,i tried the command and it seems to have restarted but i think with a previous version?,and my seeds are not listed.
question- if i run as sudo can someone use the torrent to gain control of computer or something?.
