Storage Template Problems

Hi all, I have setup a storage template and run a storage template migration to update the entire library. I'm bow trying to manually back up my library following the instructions in your docs, but I see a few issues which are concerning:

1) some pictures remain in the
uploads/
uploads/
directory (only 22 out of ~8k total)

Why aren't all photos moved to my library?

2) mysterious 'admin' user has ~30 photos

My account was previously named 'admin', but I renamed to 'John' and set the storage name to 'john' as well. I also set the storage name for the only other user on my server to 'alden'.

When I look in the
library/
library/
directory I see:
library/admin
library/alden
library/john
library/admin
library/alden
library/john


Why is the admin user library still there? Why does he only have ~30 photos? I've rerun the migration and updated/restarted Immich several times, but these photos remain here.
