The bug

I recently removed some assets (moved to trash with remove duplicates utility) using Immich Web UI.
Afterwards I tried permanently deleting those images using the Android app (I selected many of them at once).
The trash section on the app now only shows those deleted images and nothing else (Image 1).
The main section of the app now shows all images as not backupped (cloud with slash icon) (Image 2).
I can only restore the previous state by logging out and back in in the app.

My goal was to also remove those duplicated images also from the phone memory storage because permanently removing them only through the web UI would have left those images on the phone storage

I also had this issue (trashing assets in the web and then trying to empty the trash in the Android app). Here I would expect that local files would be deleted, like it is the case when deleting a single asset from trash.

However, I'd guess that emptying the trash from the web would still lead to these issues, and maybe Immich should remember trashed assets (for a while), so that they can be displayed as trashed on the phone

As I can tell this isn't really an issue but rather a feature request. That feature will be added in #16732 though

Hi, have you read the description and seen the screenshots?
It does seem to be a bug because after you delete some media only them show up in trash and all other images are showed as "not backupped"

The latter is a known (visual) state bug. I don't see how images showing up in trash is a bug if you deleted them.

The issue is that if I permanently delete some images, which are already in trash, then trash now only shows just them (which have just been permanently deleted) and not all images which were in trash before (which weren't permanently deleted)

The process of trash on the mobile app and whether it's the mobile trash or immich trash is pretty buggy/unclear. I would leave this as a bug until this particular kink is worked out.
