I use this to run the project. When it automatically download model, I do Ctrl + C,  
I saw my windows space is occupy (about 1G ), but I can’t saw any temp file on my disk:

1G : oringal disk is 2G , I run the project and ctrl +c , it become 1G.

where is temp file location?

I don’t see any model on  
myproject/models  
C:\Users\a.cache\huggingface\hub  
C:\Users\a.cache\torch

If you didn’t specify otherwise, I’m sure it’s somewhere under the C:\Users. I think it was a hidden folder.
