Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2602

My drive C is a bit ancient right now. It's an old 250GB SSD and at any given time seems to have about 5-10gb free, so I'm forever doing cleanups to stop it running out of space. In contrast, I have about 2-3TB of free space on my other drives. I would much prefer it if ollama would store models on one of those drives. How much effort would it be to make that happen?

In contrast, I have about 2-3TB of free space on my other drives. I would _much_ prefer it if ollama would store models on one of those drives. How much effort would it be to make that happen?

Hi there, models are stored by default in ~/.ollama/models, however you can change that by setting OLLAMA_MODELS. The FAQ has some good instructions on this: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#how-do-i-set-them-to-a-different-location for Windows specifically: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#setting-environment-variables-on-windows
