Remove Downloaded Model on Windows 11

[Rishabhjain486]

Hello!
I downloaded "large" and "large-v2" models but my laptop is not able to run it.

When I run the command "whisper audio.mp3 --model large-v2" it says "torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 26.00 MiB (GPU 0; 6.00 GiB total capacity; 5.05 GiB already allocated; 0 bytes free; 5.34 GiB reserved in total by PyTorch) If reserved memory is >> allocated memory try setting max_split_size_mb to avoid fragmentation. See documentation for Memory Management and PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF"

I would like to know how to remove the "large" models already downloaded.

I'm using Windows 11
Thanks.

I think the problem is happening because of GPU memory not because of the model downloaded

yes, it is due to the lack of GPU memory, The Large model requires 10GB VRAM which is beyond the capability of my current GPU, hence I was looking for a way to remove/ uninstall the large model to free up the 2.85GB space it took. Would you be able to guide me as to how I may be able to do that?

in folder %USERPROFILE%\.cache

Thank you for replying! I am, however, not very well versed as to how I may be able to reach that folder. Would it be possible to give a complete path to reach the file and instructions on how I can subsequently delete/ uninstall the model?

copy that path into address bar in explorer

Thank you so much!
