The bug

I have a mobile app (Android) with Backup enabled and it does backup very nicely on my server. But then I am going through my albums (on my PC) and I am removing some blurry or bad images. Unfortunately if I open Immich on my Android these images will be recovered from my phone! And this technically makes sense, as the backup sees that there are photos missing on the server and then happily upload missing assets.
But in this scenario it's the opposite of what we want.
Is there any way around it?
Is it possible to track manual removing of the files, so that Sync process will know that oh, this image was manually removed. I will skip backing it again?

Cheers!

Reproduction steps

1. I have backup synced between my phone and server
2. I go to the Web client on my desktop and then remove some of the pictures I don't like and I don't expect to exist anymore
3. I open Immich on my phone and I see that the removed images are uploaded to the server again. I did not expect it to happen (at least not in situation, where I remove images myself)
