Improve error message when deleting shared (partner-owned) assets

The feature

Hi team,

When deleting certain photos or videos from my timeline, I sometimes see the message:

Info: Trashed 0 assets

with no explanation. After investigating, I realised these are assets from my partner’s shared library. That makes sense, I shouldn’t be able to delete them, but the current message doesn’t communicate that and can easily be mistaken for a bug.

Suggestion for improvement:
Instead of a generic “Trashed 0 assets,” please consider showing a more descriptive, context-aware message such as:

“Some selected items belong to your partner and cannot be deleted from your account.”

or

“You don’t have permission to delete this shared asset.”

An even smoother solution would be to grey out or disable the delete option for partner-owned items, possibly with a tooltip like “This photo/video is owned by your partner and can’t be deleted.”

This would make the behaviour clearer and improve the user experience when managing shared content.

Thanks for building such a great app, really appreciate all your work and the attention to detail you’re putting into Immich!
