watch folder
i uploaded all of my non phone photos by watching my server's pictures directory.
Meanwhile my phone is uploading the non server photos.
i am thinking that this was a mistake, as i still want to copy my phone photos to my server...
i believe that ente wont re-upload them, but i am wondering if i should have just uploaded the folder instead of using watch?
Especially since its my understanding that deleting/moving photos from watch has no effect on ente's version!

When you delete a file from a watched folder on your desktop, the corresponding photo in Ente is moved to Uncategorized, not Trash. This is to prevent accidental deletion when reorganizing files on your computer. If you want to delete the photo from Ente, you must delete it from within the Ente app. More information on watch folders can be found at https://ente.io/help/photos/features/backup-and-sync/watch-folders and uncategorized photos at https://ente.io/help/photos/features/albums-and-organization/uncategorized.
