Reinstalled Immich and now it does not work

❓Question
So as the titel says I reinstalled Immmich since it was stuck updating for a few days.

When I did this it made it so I could not acces Immich anymore and when searching around I found this post. https://hub.hexos.com/topic/2128-immich-stuck-on-deploying-password-authentication-failed-for-user-immich/#comment-12827

It suggests that I go and delete my dataset folders and that the reason it cause there is a randomized password each time you install Immich which the new install could not access.

But my question is that if I remove thease dataset folders does that also remove my old photos and access to them?

Or is there something else I should do to fix this problem?
