Hi. New to Tortoise, no knowledge of python (most of my development is in C#), so I blindly followed a couple of guides to install Tortoise, copying and pasting command lines.
First I followed an one-minute guide I found on TikTok, can't find the specific video, but in a nutshell it included:
1. Installing Nvidia Cuda Drivers.
2. Installing Windows Git (which I had already installed so I skipped this step.
3. Installing Anaconda from www.anaconda.com
4. Opening Anaconda Prompt and typing the following commands:
conda create --name tortoise-tts python=3.8
conda activate tortoise-tts
cd anaconda3
conda install -c conda-forge pysoundfile
git clone https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts-git
cd tortoise-tts
python -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt
python setup.py install
python tortoise/do_tts py --text "Test speaking" --voice random --preset fast
It did work, but I noticed it took a significant amount of time to produce a result, so I thought it probably didn't use my GPU (an old plain GTX1070), so after going through the discussion board here I followed the instructions here: #441
and it actually made a difference, I get a final result a lot faster.
The thing is, that after all that (and 4-5 tests), I noticed a huge drop in my drive freespace. So I found out that there is a folder in C:\Users\MyUsername\anaconda3 that is 30,5GB (!!) and also a couple of other folders,
C:\Users\MyUsername.cache\tortoise that's around 4GB and
C:\Users\MyUsername.cache\huggingface that's almost 3GB (although that last one MAY have something to do with Artroom that I installed at some point with Stabe Diffusion)
And that is if I'm not missing any other folder that's grown since yersterday.
Is this normal? I described the steps in case there is some redundancy in the second step to make my GPU working, I've also stumbled upon a couple of users experiencing folder growth each time they are using the tool. Is there some bug maybe?
