Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/6935

What is the issue?

At the bottom of docs/linux.md, it should say sudo rm -r /usr/lib/ollama/ instead of sudo rm -r /usr/share/ollama.

Hey @jasondunsmore ,

This section of FAQ is about uninstalling pulled models, which are actually stored in /usr/share/ollama and not /usr/lib/ollama

Quote (emphasis is my own):

Remove the downloaded models and Ollama service user and group:

sudo rm -r /usr/share/ollama
sudo userdel ollama
sudo groupdel ollama

Existing text seems correct to me.

The uninstall docs line up with the install script and docs above. /usr/share/ollama is the correct directory to remove
