Managing photos by deleting sorting etc? - How to?
Hi, I have read a bunch on deleting photos, but I am still confused. I have an android app, and have added external libraries to my immich server.
When I delete things on the web, or on my android, what should I expect in my android and the web, and on the disk itself? I would expect that deleting items would delete items, but it seems immich is not setup to delete anything, even though it has a delete option. It does not seem consistent across my devices,
Does immich really not support delete for my photos? It seem like delete is more like make it disappear here, but maybe not there? I am super confused.

Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, not terribly applicable, I am just trying to get clarity on how deleted item are treated when deleting from the web, or the app, and how I can use Immich to keep my photos organized better.

When you delete things on Immich, it put them into the trash
if you clear the trash i.e delete permanently, it will remove files on disk of the server. If you perform the option on the mobile device, it will prompt you if you want to also remove those files on your phone as well
But currently, if I do that, they still show up on the phone, not moved to trash, is this to be expected?
if you do what exactly? since there are a few delete option here 🙂
