External libraries - Externally removed assets are moved to Trash by IMMICH and can't be emptied

[sigulete]

The bug

I have an external library that is read-only for IMICH and the adding and removing assests is handled externally.
I have set up the cron job to scan the library every hour.

When assets are removed and the library is re-scanned, the removed assets disapear from Home page as expected, but they show in Trash, which is not expected. Because what I see in Trash is simply a thumbnail, the actual asset is already gone.

I believe that externally managed asset shouldn't show in Trash.

Furthermore, when I click on "Empty Trash" in the Web UI, it doesn't work and Trash can't be cleaned. It is now forever building up...

Reproduction steps

1. Remove an asset from the external library (not using IMMICH)
2. Scan external library (using Web UI)
3. Open Trash and the asset removed will show there (using Web UI and Android App)
4. Click on Empty Trash to try to clean trash (Using Web UI, doesn't work)
5. Click on Empty Trash to try to clean trash (Using Android App, does work. But the Web UI still show it)
