Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1658

So i was downloading some model, and apparently it took like 26GB of disk space XD
so i cancelled it midway
tried to ollama rm dolphin-mixtral but it shows Error: model 'dolphin-mixtral' not found
it would be nice if there's command to remove partially downloaded model.

Hi @kokizzu, thanks for opening the issue. If you restart Ollama it will go through and automatically remove any partially downloaded models.

Here's how you do that based on your operating system:
macOS - Open the Ollama toolbar icon, click Quit Ollama, and open it again
linux - Run systemctl restart ollama in a terminal.

Let me know if you need any more info there.
