Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/213

I had an internet hiccup while downloading the model, which left it in a corrupt state. In order to redownload the model, I did ollama rm llama2, but when I went to re-pull the model it used the cache in ~/.ollama/models (3.8/3.8 GB, 17 TB/s -- I wish my internet was that fast).

After rm -rf ~/.ollama/models/* && ollama pull llama2 everything started working again. Is it expected that the model blobs should remain after ollama rm?
