Free disk space from Ollama and Hugging Face on Windows
Most AI cleaners are Mac-only. On Windows you still drown in .ollama and .cache\huggingface. Here is the direct path.
Where Windows hides the GB
%USERPROFILE%\.ollama\models— local LLM weights%USERPROFILE%\.cache\huggingface— Hub snapshots%LocalAppData%\npm-cache— package tarballs- Pip / conda package caches under your user profile
%USERPROFILE%\.claudeand%USERPROFILE%\.codex: old coding-agent sessions- Docker build cache and untagged images
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Pub\Cache,go-buildanddenocaches
Manual reclaim
ollama list ollama rm <unused-model> Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.cache\huggingface\hub" npm cache clean --force
Why Prune on Windows
Competitors in this niche skew Mac-only. Prune gives Windows the same scan as the Mac: free scan, exact sizes, review before delete. Your own files go to the Recycle Bin, so a wrong pick comes back, and sign-in entries for programs you uninstalled are found too. One licence works on either platform.
FAQ
Is there a dedicated Ollama cleaner for Windows?
Most niche AI cleaners are Mac-only. Prune runs on Windows 10 and 11 as well as macOS, and targets Ollama, Hugging Face, coding-agent history and developer caches with a review-first UI.
Can I free space without deleting models permanently?
Yes. Remove unused tags or caches; pull again later. Prune never deletes without your selection.
