The bug

If I empty the selected backup folder on my mobile phone, then Immich App will kick this folder out of the backup folder list.
Like the screenshots show in the below.

Now "Camera" is selected and there are 4 photos in it.

Then I have deleted all the photos in "Camera"

even you can't select a folder as backup folder if it is currently empty.
