#Removing Compressed Photo Duplicates from Immich Library

Hello everyone!

I've recently set up Immich and started uploading my photo library. Some photos in my archive are duplicated in different resolutions because one of my phones saved images in both compressed and uncompressed formats. I want to keep only the uncompressed versions. Could you please advise on the simplest way to achieve this? These photos differ only in the level of compression (the larger files are the uncompressed ones) and the naming convention—compressed versions have "_compressed" at the end of their filenames. I've already uploaded these photos to Immich. Since there are quite a few (around 10k), manually filtering them one by one using the built-in duplicate check tool is not practical.
