Way to ignore a specific folder and it's sub folders on android

I have maybe a little bit unique situation on my Android phone. I have a centralized music folder that I have synced between all my devices. Inside of each album there's probably cover art images. My immich app finds every single one of these folders and displays it in the UI for me to back up or exclude.

Is there a way to get the Android app to just completely ignore my music folder and it's subfolder so I don't have to scroll through 400+ folders that immich thinks I might want to back up.

I had an issue where the app reset and lost all of my stored data, and now I can't even find my camera roll folder in the app to back it up because I have so many other folders making it difficult to try to find it.

If there's not a way I don't mind developing this feature out since I'm a developer, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious before I waste time
