Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/15812

Support ollama to prune unfinished downloads immediately.

As far as I can see, when restart Ollama.app, it will clean some parts but not completely.

85%->restart 75% -> restart 65% ...

I think if users are sure they don't want to resume the download, they should have the choice to clean it immediately.
Rather than clean it through this invisible way.

Just add one subcommand ollama prune.

Just search the issue title, 2 years ago, the same issue was closed.
But it's useful, right? I hope we can support this.

I clean it mannually by checking the ollama download files datetime.

I think something got broken in recent release.
Upon relaunching, it used to clean up after importing safetensor fails, but it doesn't work anymore either.
