Force Re-scan All library files creates 2 sets of thumbnails about immich

[rickysarraf]

I've run into the very same problem. But I am a very first user of immich at version 1.101.

Is there no helper job to do cleanups ?

I do see 3 thumbnail folders, of which I suspect 1 folder is an extra one. Is there a way to do the mapping of the libraries to the thumbnail folders ?

Right now, my 2 libraries are:

I do not believe there is a feature to remove the unused assets. Hopefully one will be added in the near future. My thumbnails appeared in the same folder paths, just twice as many at the lowest level. Since v1.101 has a bug with setting up the thumbnail size, i deleted my stuff and started over using a previous version and being cautious not to force a library rescan again.

Thanks. I think I can now relate the UUID that is throwaway.

So this is the library uuid that can be junked. It very well matches with one of the folder names.

One other good thing that immich did was that while it didn't delete the generated library cache (which is a good thing in a way), it did ensure that that content wasn't used in rendering. After all my jobs had completed, this was one big difference I noticed/welcomed.
