Unable to delete External Library, even after removing the only Import Path

[kayg04]

The bug

I have been using Immich as my Nextcloud folder read-only client for a while now, just to test/dip my toes before getting wet. That has worked flawlessly. I recently took the plunge and uploaded all my media to Immich, which also worked flawlessly through immich cli.

What hasn't worked flawlessly is removing the External Library (Nextcloud folder) that was added to Immich. Whenever I tried to remove it, I get the usual confirmation dialog but then nothing happens. There are no relevant logs in immich_server container either.

Please let me know if you'd like more info. Here's a video recording of the possible bug:

I wonder (and this might be stupid) but is it caused by the right arrow (→) being present in the title?

The bug was fixed and will be available in the next release

Thanks a lot, Alex!

As an update, I was able to delete the External Library after restarting both immich_server and immich_machine_learning containers, selecting "Remove Offline Files" on the library, waiting for the number to drop to 0 and then clicking on "Remove Library."
