I’ve successfully installed WhisperX, is there anything I can uninstall to save some disk space?

Hello everyone.
This is not an issue but I don’t know where else to post so I hope it’s okay.
And I pretty much know nothing about Python or coding etc. so please bear with me :(

I use Windows 10, and here’s the steps that I did:

• installed Python 3.10
• installed Pytorch, from here
• installed Miniconda
• installed Git 2.46.0
• used these command lines:
  conda create --name whisperx python=3.10
conda activate whisperx
conda install pytorch==2.0.0 torchaudio==2.0.0 pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install git+https://github.com/m-bain/whisperx.git

I will use WhisperX with Subtitle Edit, not with command lines, just in case it helps.

The whole thing takes up more than 10Gb so I do hope I can get back some, but in case it’s not possible I’ll accept my fate.

Thank you so much 👏🏻

In your case I would:

• Setup the environment using python virtual environments to avoid conflicts by mixing pip install & conda install.
  • Then call pip cache purge.
• Call whisperX using "small" model instead of e.g. "large-v2" in case it meets the expectations.

Hi. Thank you for your response.

I thought the whole thing took ~10Gb, turned out it took ~25Gb :( Thanks to you I got back ~5Gb. I really appreciate your help.
