How to delete a model?

[hamasakifanz]

Hi, I just found out about this awesome plugin and I downloaded a model that's quite big (around 3GB). Idk if it's caused by this large sized model, but changing the setting becomes very slow and laggy on my OBS. Also my OBS startup takes way longer than before.

Question is, how to delete already downloaded model?

P.S. if you have any suggestion on the basic but good enough model to use for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese transcription please let me know.
Thank you very much!

Yeah the large models require a lot of computing power and are only really usable if you have a powerful GPU and enable the GPU acceleration using vulkan, cuda or hip in the settings (the plugin defaults to using the CPU for safety in case the GPU acceleration causes it to crash)

So first I would suggest trying the GPU acceleration if you can as that'll let you use larger models without slowing everything down so much, but if the disk space issue is your main problem then you can totally delete the model

Before you delete the model you'll need to change the setting to use a smaller one, otherwise it'll just download the model again when it starts up

To delete the model, in OBS go to the File menu and click "Show Settings Folder" which should open the folder where OBS and its plugins store their data. In there you should find a folder called obs-localvocal, and in that folder there should be a folder called models which contains all the downloaded model files. You can just delete them from there like any other file
