Re-syncing images deleted externally?

I recently imported a large number of photos, without realising that these contained thumbnails generated by some other app I've long since stopped using. Of coure this resulted in a ton of duplicate images in Immich.

I've now deleted these (outside Immich) but I'm struggling to sync those changes back to the library. I know that with external Libraries there's a library option to "Remove Offline Files", but that's not an option for the internal library. I also tried running a refresh of the "Library" job

How do I get Immich to check for any deleted files, and remove them?
