Purging Bumblebee AI models cache

If you’ve experimented with Bumblebee your disk space is probably almost filled up. To free it, you can remove all AI models you’ve downloaded by running the following code in a Livebook or iex

Mix.install([{:bumblebee, "~> 0.6"}])

Bumblebee.cache_dir() |> File.rm_rf!()

If you want to run it in one step, execute the following shell command:

iex -e "
  Mix.install([{:bumblebee, \"~> 0.6\"}])
  Bumblebee.cache_dir() |> File.rm_rf!()
"

Of course, if you have your AI pet project in place, you can run iex -S mix and run

Bumblebee.cache_dir() |> File.rm_rf!()

so you don’t have to wait for the dependency to install
