I installed Paperless-ngx on Proxmox/LXC Container/TurnKey GNU/Linux 17.1 (Debian 11/Bullseye)/Docker Container.

The other day, along with the files I wanted to import, I accidentally added a folder containing 15 images.

I realized this because the processing was taking too long, and since I wasn't sure how many incorrect files were involved, I tried restarting the container: docker compose restart.

At first, it seemed to work, but after a while, the processing continued, and I had to wait for it to finish and then delete the 15 files I had accidentally imported.

Now my question: Luckily, the incorrect folder only contained 15 files, but what if there were 150... 1,500... or worse? What's the correct way to abort a wrong import?
