How do I remove a External Library folder without Immich deleting the files?
❓Question
I added the wrong folder to an external library and wanted to remove it. I noticed that when deleting the import folder, it puts all the files that did exist into the trash, as Immich considers them to not be able to be found.
I figured deleting them from here might instead just delete the database entries for these files, but I was mistaken. Immich deleted these files from disk.
I have backups of these locations, so this isn't a big deal, however I am confused as to how I am supposed to be able to remove the media that was imported from this incorrect folder without deleting them. Any guidance appreciated. I tried my best to search up this specific situation but I didn't find anything that seemed immediately helpful.
