Immich not recovering storage space (devs help please!)
So this is something Ive posted on a few times now on reddit. Previously its when I renamed an external folder, causing Immich to reprocess everything. With this new event that happened today it is even more blatant of an issue and I'm really hoping to get some help or see if Immich dev team can look into this.
Background - Been using Immich 8mo now, using an external library with about 80k assets, on my NAS. I never upload anything directly to immich or use the storage templates. Im on 1.135.3, and update approximately every version, checking for any release note changes needed. Outside of this, Ive had a problem free experience. Using immich has been rock solid. Just trying to recover my unused space
Today I, through a windows duplication app, deleted out 4000 videos/pics from the external library folder. I dont know exactly how much space this was but about 100gigs deleted from the external library. Prior to doing any deletions I looked in the lower left of the webui and it was 244gig of space used. After rescanning/processing the jobs its at 263gb (and still rising I believe).
Additionally none of those items have shown up in my trash like i had seen in the past.
Can someone help me understand how removing 100gb from my external library has INCREASED my Immich storage size by 15gigs or more? How would it increase at all? And how do I ensure the items I deleted, get removed in every possible way from Immich? (thumbnails, references, etc).
When I first posted on this I had 80gig left on my SSD but now I am getting down to 35gig because things dont seem to clear themselves out. I suppose I could start all over and reprocess everything but I know that will take a week or two to run.
