I have Ubuntu 20.04.1, I've installed ollama and a couple llms, it's amazing, but tinyllama is gibberish and I've just realized I don't know how to remove the llms from my computer or where they're stored, or anything about them.

Mistral is very impressive btw

In a terminal:

ollama list => list of installed models

ollama rm <name_of_llm> to delete the model

mistral and mixtral moe are great indeed. The v3 is impressive.

You are the best. Solid, concise answer. Thank you, worked like a charm.

And now that you've already solved my problem, I remembered to check the manual and there are the commands you've given me.

Thank you very much, I will try to learn my lesson. One day at a time!

Just as a general piece of advice, the --help flag will usually list out flags that can be used with a command.

Also the tldr package is available for a lot of distros. Might be worth seeing if yours has it. It's like --help but a little more human readable.

Not op, but this is very helpful to me too, when I have a laptop again I'll have to check out tldr!

I really appreciate more knowledgeable folks like yourself taking time to help show the ropes to others, it makes a big difference

Oh I never heard of tldr! Thanks I'll check, those are both handy tips
