This might seem like a dumb question, but my disk space is currently pretty low and I'd like to clean some of my files.

A lot of space has been taken by the models I downloaded with different projects like the one from oobabooga or LocalGPT, however I can't find the file where they were downloaded. So I'd like to know if anyone knows where it is.

I'm on Windows if it changes anything. Thanks in advance for your answers

It would probably useful to just use one of those tools that show you which folders take up the space and start investigating the larger ones.

I just did that and cleaned all the models I downloaded and didn't want to use anymore. Thanks for the advice :)

I think it's %HOMEPATH%\.cache\huggingface\hub

For oobabooga the models are usually downloaded to the "models" folder inside the main oobabooga folder.

Oh ok, thanks, this one was pretty easy. Do you have any idea where the models downloaded by openplayground are?

That one I'm not sure about as I haven't used openplayground before. But you could try to do a search for the model name in the main folder of openplayground, if you find one, the others should be in the same area. If you're running openplayground through docker, then you could try looking at any volumes or mounted directories and delete those.

I used openplayground a little after it got released, and I installed it through pip so the models were downloaded somewhere in the Python files. I used a software that shows file size as taladar suggested and found it that way. Thanks for all the help, though :)
