What is the issue?

I've ran ollama run llama3:70b on Mac and CLI pulled 40GB of data that is not stored in ~/.ollama.

Where the heck is the data? How to clean it up?

Any shared models on the mac will not get cleaned up unless each of the models using the shared data are removed. The FAQ covers where each location for the data is stored, which is in ~/.ollama/models.

The issue is that I've cleaned up model using ollama rm and cleaned up directory ~/.ollama/models but space is still consumed somewhere.

I'm not able to duplicate this. Here's a copy of command-r-plus which I had locally:

You can see w/ df -h how much disk space I'm using:

I then used ollama rm command-r-plus. Here's the resulting amount of disk space (again w/ df -h):
