Foreign Key Constraint violation on delete?
I'm running immich v1.132.3 on docker. I wanted to delete a bunch of files that I had uploaded into Immich back in April under the wrong user - they were my wife's photos but I uploaded them as me. I wrote some python code to verify and then delete the files: I query the assets table in postgres to get the id of the assets within a specific createdAt date and then I issue a bunch of deletes via the /api/assets/ api.
It was going well, though slowly as one might imagine on a 16Gb ras pi 5 but now I'm following the docker logs and I am seeing a bunch of errors from postgres like this:
