Sorry this happened. Ollama must be installed somewhere for this to open up. In any case you can go to System Settings – Login Items & Extensions to disable this. In the meantime, I will look into why the "Move to applications" dialog showed up, that should be skipped

Where can I figure out where it is installed? It is not in Downloads and it is not in the Applications folder.

Hi @asibahi
It sounds like Ollama is still launching automatically at login, even though you thought you had uninstalled it. This usually happens if the app was added to your login items.

Here are a few steps you can take to fully remove it:
Check Login Items:
• Go to System Settings > General > Login Items.
• Look under “Open at Login” and “Allow in Background”. If you see Ollama there, remove it.

Try running this in Terminal to find it:

sudo find / -name "*ollama*" 2>/dev/null

This might reveal where the app is.
