Hi, I installed Lama Cleaner using these commands in Ubuntu 22.04

pip install lama-cleaner
lama-cleaner --model=lama --device=cpu --port=8080

It took a lot of space than I imagined ( around 4GB, I guess ) and it is not waiting till I draw the mask completely. The result was not very satisfactory for me either. So I tried to save some space by removing it using

pip uninstall lama-cleaner

The command was executed immediately, but I see that the space is still gone. I tried to remove the cache using Bleachbit as root, but only 320 MB was removed.

Any chance I can completely remove Lama Cleaner and win back the space?

Thanks.

There seems to exist pip-autoremove https://pypi.org/project/pip-autoremove/
Sounds as if it would do what you need.
(No guarantee - didn't try myself)

Thanks @nelo

I already removed Lama Cleaner, but the space is still occupied.

Does a list of dependencies help?

Thanks. I do not know how to handle this.

Started a bug report on GitHub. Hopefully, there will be an official answer.

Manually uninstalled everything one by one except

Code:

pip uninstall markupsafe
Found existing installation: MarkupSafe 2.0.1
Not uninstalling markupsafe at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, outside environment /usr
Can't uninstall 'MarkupSafe'. No files were found to uninstall.

Thanks for all the help.

Lama Cleaner was the final tool that completed the ENTIRETY of my open source image editing mission. There isn't a single professional task I can't do with all the tools I have. Open source software in the 2020s is without a doubt better then commercial software of the early 2000s. The main reason why are AIs that had no counter part back then.
