What is the issue?

@milenamilka755 If any parts of the model are being shared with a different model the blobs won't be cleaned up.

It seems to me that this is not the case because it was not some small piece, but more than 4GB file with the main model.

@milenamilka755 hmm... I'll keep poking around here to see if I can find something.

I haven't been able to reproduce. @milenamilka755 are you still seeing this behavior on the latest version of Ollama? Can you share a repro scenario (what models did you have, and what model did you remove)?

I think we can probably close this for now, but we can reopen it if there's a way to reproduce.
