External Library - Unable to remove file from disk

I recently deleted an external library from my admin account so I can create an account for me instead of using that. After deleting, I see a ton of these error messages in the logs 
[Nest] 7  - 04/07/2025, 1:03:00 AM    WARN [Microservices:StorageService] Unable to remove file from disk

}
I am wondering if this will go away as each file throws that error or if this will just keep happening. The mount is read only which looks like that was a good choice because I think it would be deleting my external library.

Logs can be downloaded here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/38E35KPNFC#AqyJykw2B4uV I recently accidentally deleted files from the Immich library (not the external one) and I am trying to fix the issues caused by that. I am not sure if that should be related to the external library though. The server version is 1.131.3 This is a VM running Ubuntu, and Immich is running in Docker with mounts to my NAS

${FAMILY_LIBRARY}:/mnt/media/family:ro
the ro in this line means "Read Only" @dotfortun3 Also looking at the error, it seems like you deleted the contents of the library, not just removed it from settings?

No, the external library was mounted read only and when I deleted the external library from the UI these errors appeared. The files I deleted were from a User Library that mistakenly deleted when trying to remove duplicates. The error message I am showing only showed up after I deleted the external library from the admin account in the Immich UI. @Mraedis
