    How to uninstall a model when the UI provides no "trash can" delete option

    Feedbacks

    I'm trying to delete the Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B model so that I can download the latest upgrade, but the Tiiny UI doesn't give me a place to uninstall the existing model. I have tried the model page with only gives me the "Upgrade" and favorite control, and when I press Upgrade, naturally it fails because the existing Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B model is still there. I've also tried deleting it from the Storage Space page. Every model I roll over with the cursor brings up the trash can for deletion, but I mouseover the Embedding model, there is no deletion control that pops up. I have absolutely NO idea how to go about clearing this logjam. Any assistance would be appreciated!

    You can't delete it, and you don't need to — Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B is the model Vault vectorizes your files with, so it's a protected system model and the trash can is hidden on purpose. The Upgrade entry you hit was a version-number mismatch on our side, not a missing feature; it's fixed, so you won't see an update prompt for that model again.
