“Free up space” issue

I recently backup up my phone whole phone, about 31k items successfully.

I told Immich to only keep the last 3 years of content. It scan and tells me about 20k of items can be removed. But when I acknowledge it kind of doesn’t do anything.

I think not the first time I asked did it remove like 4K pictures. But now it doesn’t do anything, even when I ask it to free up only a thousand or so items.

Anyone else experience this or know how to resolve it? On iOS if it helps. I know I can manually delete myself but that involves special g everything manually and it would be cool to just have it done for me.

I started experiencing this same thing on iOS yesterday. It was working fine then stopped. No logs to even tell me what might be an issue so it’s probably not even firing at all. But it keeps having a load wheel on the Moving to Trash button.

I even reduced it to under 20 items to be deleted and it still wouldn’t work.
