Huge amount of Disk space for local instance

After a successful local installation, even for a simple test the generation takes an eternity and cache attends 35 Gb while the installation folder is more than 70 Gbs so a total of 115 Gbs without successfully generating a simple 2 lines of text to Audio.
highly recommand to use the Colab version rather than the local instance.

At this point in time colab is a good option for sure.
100gb is more than I've seen before.
May I ask what is the size of the separate folders: installer_files and tts-generation-webui?
I hope the cache isn't just this project, although models like Audiocraft's stereo large Musicgen are just massive.

For reference, it should be something like this, potentially even less. Of course, the HF models cache will contain more models once you use them:

I will close the discussion for now but anyone can feel free to open it with more questions or details. I haven't seen much space-saving in the audio space, so it's possible that with some pressure model weights could become smaller, probably audiocraft being a big opportunity to save space.
