Duplicate images after moving files

Hi guys!
I need some help please.
My process is as follows, I upload photos from my mobile (iOS) to immich, once its all uploaded, I move the files into a read-only location where I group them based on the event, etc. I do this manually for now.

Problem is in immich the photos are duplicated and even if i run a re-scan they don't get removed.
The "missing" files all point to /usr/src/app/upload/library/admin/2025/08/X and when I browse to that location there's nothing in it, obviously as I've moved them manully. The new location in the read only library shows and thats all fine.

How to I get immich to rescan and remove those "missing" files?
Is there a task that i should run? I've tried the jobs in the admin section, with no success.

Please help!
