update: switching removeTransactionReceipt for removeDraftTransaction fixes that problem, however when testing this I found another bug which happens after deleting the first photo/draftTransaction. The multi scan closes or hangs in the loading state. This has to do with the logic of creating the first draft transaction in the optimistic state. This is also why the first transaction has the id of 1. I will look for a way to fix this tomorrow
