Immich folder view != filesystem folder view

Hi, I'm using immich version 2.0.1 and have found a strange behavior. I'm unsure if it's a bug or something other.
When I look at the Immich folder view in my library root, I see my folders (the album name) und 69 files (photos and videos), all not very old.
When I look on the server side on the filesystem in the library root, I see the folders and only 1 file. When I try to download one of the photos from library root within Immich, I got server error 500.
I also searched the filesystem via find . -name "<name here>" in the library root, no hits. When I searched an existing image, I got a hit -> command works.
I also have at least one photo that is listet in Immich to be in the library root, but isn't there (also not showing up in the folder view). Can't find this on filesystem as well.
My storage template is this: {{{album}}}/{{{filename}}}.
All the 69 files that are listed in the Immich library root via the folder view are in exactly one album.
I also searched in the upload folder via find command, found nothing.
I use the Android app to sync my photos, maybe the issue is there?
Actually I'm using Android app version 2.0.1 but I'm unsure which version I used when I upload the "last batch" af files.
Where are the photos now? Deleted?
