How to determine the correspondence of .torrent files to existing data files?

Need help!
For several years, many gigabytes of various useful content have been downloaded from different trackers (mainly from rutracker) by different clients (mainly uTorrent). The downloaded files were subsequently manually moved from one disk to another, uTorrent does not see them accordingly. Many .torrent files are outdated by themselves (for example, the series was distributed by adding new series by replacing the .torrent file).
Now the question itself: is there a way to automatically (not manually) establish a correspondence between the .torrent files on the computer and the content scattered across different logical drives of the computer? Purpose: to remove unnecessary (irrelevant) .torrent files, and for the actual ones - to put everything on distribution. Who has any ideas? :)
If necessary (if required), you can again place all data files in the same directory on the same logical drive.

How I did. (my downloads were always made in two folders: movies and downloads.
1. I created these folders empty (renamed the old ones)
2. I launched all the torrents that I dug for downloading.
3. After downloading, after about 5 minutes, everything turned off.
4. Files were created in my folders, then I put into these folders what I found locally (by checking the directories and searching on the disk)
5. Launched hash checks (re-check
) and deleted everything below 95% - sometimes even a good file is considered 95-98% for some reason =/

Here is an extended comment on how you can automate this process if you can at least write a few lines of code.

I created a ticket in the uTorrent idea bank and it got rejected. They write that this feature cannot be implemented technically due to the specifics of torrents hashing. I don't even know how to feel about it :)
