Is it safe to delete DiffusionBee models?

Stable Diffusion models that DiffusionBee downloaded or that you imported into it.

Review first

It's your own data, or hard to recreate. Decide item by item.

~/.diffusionbee/{downloaded_assets,downloads,imported_models}

What it is

DiffusionBee keeps the models it downloads in its hidden .diffusionbee folder, in downloaded_assets (downloads in older versions), and the models you import in imported_models. Models are large and stay until they're removed. The images you generate are kept separately, in the images folder, and aren't part of this item.

If it's removed

DiffusionBee downloads the models it needs again. Imported models need to be imported again from their original files.

How it's removed

Moved to the Trash, where you can restore it. Quit DiffusionBee first.

PRO

The free analyzer finds it and explains it. Removing it is Pro, after a review sheet that lists every move and command. It's never checked for you: it waits for your choice.
