If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.use immich-go if you have accompanying data for the google photos data for instance
(or icloud)
I've already used it for google takeout, but I'm having issue with icloud photos which I used immich CLI to upload
And you're certain the data is there in the takeout?
again, its not Google takeout
I'm trying to get icloud images to immich
I used icloudpd to download everything, then used immich-cli to import
got everything in Today's date!
seems Upload ignored files creation date of files

Immich-go also works with icloud downloads
Immich-cli does not consider any special metadata structures, unlike immich-go
how can I remove the recently uploaded images? manually?
I'm afraid so yes, if it's too much work you can consider starting fresh of course 🙂
Alternatively you can write a script that uses the API to delete assets from that upload time
Thanks for your promptness!
I tried deleting immich\upload\library\admin
but images are still showing up in immich!
is there another path for the media?
you can never delete files from the UPLOAD_LOCATION
manually = by browsing through the website, or using the API as mraedis mentioned
