Bug Report

Installation Method

Docker with docker-compose

Environment

Open WebUI Version: v0.3.22
Ollama (if applicable): n/a
Operating System: Debian 12 kernel 6.1.106-3
Browser (if applicable): n/a

Confirmation:

I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

When we go to Admin -> Settings -> Documents when click "Reset Vector Storage" I expect that it empties the chroma.sqlite3 file and delete all the documents folder in vector_db directory.
Also, when we delete a document via Workspace -> Documents, the corresponding entries in the vector storage should be deleted.

Actual Behavior:

When we go to Admin -> Settings -> Documents when click "Reset Vector Storage" it does not touches the chroma.sqlite3 file and do not delete the corresponding documents folder in vector_db directory. It seems to me that this button is doing nothing.
Also, when we delete a document via Workspace -> Documents, the corresponding entries in the vector storage is not deleted.
