## Notes

<Warning>
  This action is **irreversible**. Once deleted, you'll need to pull the model again to use it.
</Warning>

* Deleting a model frees up disk space
* The model name must match exactly (including tag)
* You can delete specific variants by including the tag (e.g., "llama2:7b")
* To delete all variants, you must delete each one individually
