Deleting Downloaded model from web UI

[antunes145]

Sorry for the silly question, but I can't for the life of me find where these model were downloaded.

It's in the hugging face folder or you can access here

They go into the standard Hugging Face cache, not an Unsloth-specific folder. On macOS/Linux:

~/.cache/huggingface/hub

(Windows: C:\Users\<you>\.cache\huggingface\hub, or wherever HF_HOME / HF_HUB_CACHE points if you've set it.) Each model is a folder like models--unsloth--llama-3-8b.

To delete cleanly, use the built-in tool:

huggingface-cli delete-cache

It opens an interactive picker and removes the selected revisions correctly (handling the blob/refs symlinks). To do it by hand, just delete the matching models--org--name directory. Run huggingface-cli scan-cache first to see what's using space.

If the UI downloads through huggingface_hub, they'll be in ~/.cache/huggingface/hub (dirs named models--org--name). On recent versions hf cache delete opens an interactive picker so you can remove specific models instead of nuking the whole cache. Older installs have it as huggingface-cli delete-cache.

If they're not there, just hunt the big files:

find ~ \( -name "*.gguf" -o -name "*.safetensors" \) -exec du -sh {} + 2>/dev/null | sort -h

That'll show every model weight file on the system with its size, wherever Studio put them.
