Hi!

I just ran:

% ollama list
NAME                  ID              SIZE      MODIFIED      
deepseek-r1:8b        6995872bfe4c    5.2 GB    5 months ago     
gpt-oss:20b           aa4295ac10c3    13 GB     5 months ago     
deepseek-r1:latest    0a8c26691023    4.7 GB    12 months ago    
% ollama rm deepseek-r1:8b gpt-oss:20b deepseek-r1:latest
deleted 'deepseek-r1:8b'
deleted 'gpt-oss:20b'
deleted 'deepseek-r1:latest'

and I was expecting to know the total removed size, kinda like with podman/docker.

Would this feature be welcome? And if so does it need to be under a flag like --size?

Current ollama rm flags for reference:

% ollama rm --help          
Remove a model

Usage:
  ollama rm MODEL [MODEL...] [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for rm

Environment Variables:
      OLLAMA_HOST                IP Address for the ollama server (default 127.0.0.1:11434)

@dhirajlochib commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2026):

Implemented in PR #15215.

The fix is in DeleteHandler in cmd/cmd.go:

  1. Call client.List() before deletion to record each model's size via /api/tags
  2. Accumulate freed bytes across all deleted models (names normalized via model.ParseName(arg).DisplayShortest() to match the list format)
  3. Print freed <size> at the end when the total is non-zero

The freed line is suppressed if the list call fails, so existing behaviour for offline scenarios is unchanged.
