A tip for those coming in future.

I found it better to use mise to install ollama using mise use -g ollama than install it from the original script. This makes the uninstall as well as the upgrade easy enough.
Moreover, it installs the ollama in user directory than in root, which is another advantage.

I followed the uninstall instructions.

Prior to uninstalling, I manually removed (ollama rm ) every single model I had.
But the disk space doesn't seem to have been freed?
Am I missing something?
I'd like my GBs back
