Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If you run ollama run/pull <some_new_model_you_didnt_have> and then for whatever reason the downloading stops in-between, the unfinished files are left (supposedly) in ~/.ollama/models/blobs/sha256:-partial occupying quite a lot of space (depending on when the stop happened). Running ollama list doesn't show those unfinished downloads - so you don't see them, can't remove them. This leads to the hdd space wastage without user knowing

Describe the solution you'd like
There should be a way for ollama to trigger (automatically, every once in a while) a reconcile procedure, to identify and remove whatever files are related to unfinished downloads.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Manually deleting files related to unfinished downloads (might be tricky for users, because the info about where ollama holds all it's internals and how it's organized isn't part of official documentation - it's kinda hidden under the hood)
  2. ollama list to show unfinished downloads so they could be deleted with ollama rm
