I have >350 albums automatically generated. Nearly all of albums comes from a folder managed by Obsidian. I’m having trouble to understand why the system create an album for every folder on my device.
If I only need photos and screenshots album, How do I remove access of album creation for a specific folder?
One reason I’m asking is because I’m having trouble locating the photo album i want to backup with immich, it is really hard to locate an album in randomly ordered list of hundreds of albums
thanks a lot in advance

What else should I do to fix it?
Sometimes it can take the media scanner running again before they disappear. Give it a few minutes or so.
