Describe the feature/enhancement

I recently re-shuffled my folders and was left with over 2400 books that had issues and needed to be removed from the library.

The problem is that when I click the "remove" button and then navigate away from the page, the removing process stops.

Once the user presses the button, the process should move to the backsend/server so that the user can continue navigating/browsing/listening without worrying about the process stopping.

Apparently, it does move to the background. The following screen is that of a log after I navigated away and started a new scan on a newly added library.

Am not sure if this is working or not and will leave it to you to close the ticket without resolution (if it is working fine).

This is working. This isn't supposed to be a long running task. I can see how it can be long running with thousands to remove so we may re-design this in the future but for now I think we are okay treating this as a quick action.
