TL;DR

Implement input validation for command-line arguments and consider adding a temporary folder with delete-on-close semantics to prevent unnecessary file creation and disk usage.

Guidance

• Validate command-line arguments at the beginning of the process to prevent unnecessary computations and file creations.
• Consider implementing a temporary folder with delete-on-close semantics to automatically remove files that should not persist.
• Add a command-line option (e.g., ollama.exe gc) to perform housekeeping on the blobs folder, allowing users to easily remove unnecessary files.
• When implementing the housekeeping option, follow the suggested steps: enumerate manifests, build a list of hashes, enumerate blobs, remove files found in manifests, and present the remaining files and their sizes to the user for potential deletion.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The suggested solution focuses on improving the input validation and file management within the ollama.exe tool. The exact implementation details may vary depending on the tool's internal architecture and the programming language used.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement input validation and consider adding a temporary folder with delete-on-close semantics to prevent unnecessary file creation and disk usage. This approach addresses the immediate issue without requiring an upgrade to a potentially non-existent fixed version.
