Files that are offline (deleted or missing) do not show in the trash folder.

[kidroca]

The bug

As per release notes for v1.116 for external libraries:

Files that are offline (deleted or missing) now get hidden from the timeline and will show in the trash folder.

Immich identified 6000+ files as duplicates, I downloaded the list via an API call and used it to automatically move away most of the duplicates automatically

After that I've triggered a new scan for the external library, but non of the files appear in the trash folder - it's empty. Reviewing my duplicates and opening the full image I see an "Asset Offline" warning

This external library asset is no longer found on disk and has been moved to trash. If the file was moved within the library, check your timeline for the new corresponding asset. To restore this asset, please ensure that the file path below can be accessed by Immich and scan the library.

1. Removed assets from external library are not appearing in trash
2. Assets are still considered for duplicate review, because there's no way to remove them from Immich

I expected to see them in trash and empty the trash to remove all

A potential workaround might be to find all the asset IDs for the stuff I moved away and use the API to delete assets by ID

@kidroca Can this be reproducible with a single external library?

@zackpollard, Can you help take a look at this issue? Thank you

[zackpollard]

I tried moving files around and renaming them (to create a new file and offline the old path) and they always end up in trash for me

@alextran1502

@kidroca Can this be reproducible with a single external library?

I've added all paths under the same external library, so any duplicates can be detected:

      - "/mnt/fastShare/kidroca/Google_Photos_Takeout:/mnt/family/kidroca/Google_Photos_Takeout"
      - "/mnt/fastShare/kidroca/PhotoSync:/mnt/family/kidroca/PhotoSync"
      - "/mnt/d/Nadya_Google_Photos_Takeout:/mnt/family/nadeto/Google_Photos_Takeout"
      - "/mnt/fastShare/nadeto/PhotoSync:/mnt/family/nadeto/PhotoSync"

But originally, the paths below were added to a separate external library

      - "/mnt/d/Nadya_Google_Photos_Takeout:/mnt/family/nadeto/Google_Photos_Takeout"
      - "/mnt/fastShare/nadeto/PhotoSync:/mnt/family/nadeto/PhotoSync"

Initially I created 2 external libraries, but later realized that this won't detect duplicates across different external libraries

I didn't want to lose all indexing / thumbnails / face recognition of the 2nd external library, so I didn't remove it.

Now I have one external library that contains everything and a 2nd external library, that contains a subset.

I guess I should have started with a single library and split into 2 only after sorting out the duplicates

In any case I've removed about 6000 files flagged as duplicates by Immich. Reviewing individual files via the duplicates utility confirms they are offline, but the /trash view is empty

[kidroca]

I've just removed a bunch of videos outside of Immich and rescanned libraries and the removed videos do appear in the trash

I don't think these videos were flagged as duplicates by Immich, could this be the problem?

The assets flagged as duplicates don't appear in trash, because they are flagged as duplicates and somehow this takes priority over listing them in trash?

I think I've run into the same/similar problem on v1.121.0.

For my immich_server container, the volume mapping for the external library is as follows:

/ExtHDD/External-Libraries:/usr/src/app/external:ro

I had a bunch of assets in /ExtHDD/External-Libraries/Old-Folder that were scanned into Immich.

I then renamed it to /ExtHDD/External-Libraries/New-Folder and all those assets were scanned into Immich. I also ran the Library job.

However, none of the Old-Folder assets have been moved to the trash or marked as offline. I know they are not offline because I tried to use Immich Folder Album Creator to delete offline assets, and it said it didn't find any. Unless that tool is having issues finding offline assets.

I see assets in Immich (web UI) that have the Old-Folder path and duplicate assets with the New-Folder path.

Why aren't the Old-Folder assets set to offline and in the trash?

If you check the immich trash folder, are the assets there? If not, can you see the assets in the timeline?

You can also directly check if an asset is offline by inspecting its json.

Check the URL of the page and note the UUID

In Chrome F12, go to the Network tab and click F5.

Select the request corresponding to the asset

In the Response tab, check the asset info json:

Thanks for your reply. I will find some time to test over the next week.

Ver : V1.124.0

External Library (read only)

I have removed the file in NAS. And immich can detected it and show in Trash View. But when I try to click "Empty trash". It not work and the image still show in Trash View.

[etnoy]

We currently have it so that emptying trash does not remove offline files. That's a design decision as this point though it might change in the future. Offline files will be removed after 30 days. I know the author of immich-power-tools has a feature to delete offline files at this point if you really want to

[ffchung]

@etnoy Thanks for suggestion. But you just give me a idea. If I change the Trash Setting to 7 days, will it remove offline files early?

That is correct, it will then remove them after 7 days
