[bug]: Files being sotred in unexpected places #4095

What happened?

A gigantic cache folder from hugging face is appearing, usually in the user directory. It appears everything downloaded using the model installer script is living here permanently and being used by Invoke, rather than in the invoke folder, as deleting the cache deleted the models from invoke even though they appear to still be in the invoke folder (though not sure about control nets; I can;t find those at all). Note this folder is default hidden as well.

This is not easily under control of the user (requires making a windows Env Varible to move), and is causing unexpected drive filling (not easily disagnosable since the folder is hidden). It is also an issue for uninstallation and compartmentalization, as now simply deleting the Invoke folder no longer actually removes everything, and it causes issues with model management as it's unclear where things are located.

Additional context

Discovered this when my system drive started to throw out of space errors and I couldn't track it down without windirstat.

This is an artifact of our using the HuggingFace interface to download their repo_ids. The .cache file can be safely deleted from time to time.

We are working on a new downloading mechanism that does not cause cache files to be stored.

When I deleted this folder (which had many many files in it), all the things I had downloaded seem to have gone with it. SDXL, all the control nets... All of them are no longer accessible in invoke after deleting the cache folder.

There appears to be something in a folder marked SDXL in the models folder in the invoke directory. The controlnets folder is empty, though. But nothing showing up in invoke.
