What controls what the folders are named?

❓Question
And how do I update them to reflect the name of the user? I set up the storage to rename the folders for year/month but I don't understand why there is an Admin Folder and Philip iPhone. Those should be the same user (me). How do I merge these to be just one folder?

Also, I synced my phone last night via app. When I was done I reset the phone completely. When I go into the Immich iphone app now it shows the photos on the server but no check mark on the cloud. Do I need to resync my whole phone again since I reset the phone or will it recognize the files are the same and mark them off?
