An error occurred while uninstalling the model

Error message

An error occurred while uninstalling the model

What it means

Lemonade (AMD local LLM server) model uninstall UI. After a confirm dialog, LemonadeUtils.deleteModel(modelId, basePath) is called; a success:false result throws the util's error text or this generic fallback, and the catch toasts 'Error uninstalling model'.

Solutions

1. Confirm the Lemonade server is running and reachable, then retry
2. Refresh the model list — the id may already be gone (treat as success)
3. Check the browser console/network tab for the DELETE request's status code and body
4. Update Lemonade to a version whose API supports model deletion

const serverUp = await LemonadeUtils.healthCheck?.();
const stillInstalled = customModels.some((m) => m.id === modelId && m.downloaded);
if (!serverUp || !stillInstalled) return; // nothing actionable — refresh list instead

catch (e) {
  console.error("Error uninstalling model:", e);
  showToast(e.message, "error", { clear: true });
  if (/not found|404/i.test(e.message)) markModelNotDownloaded(modelId); // idempotent outcome
}

When it happens

Trigger: Lemonade server not running (default local port unreachable); modelId not actually downloaded locally; basePath invalid; the delete API returned an error status; Lemonade version lacking the delete endpoint.

Common situations: Lemonade stopped between listing and uninstalling; model already removed manually via CLI so the id is stale; version mismatch between the UI expectations and the installed Lemonade server; localhost server blocked by browser mixed-content rules.
