What happened?

I use the clip-interrogator extension in A1111 & by default the models are downloaded & stored at C:\Users\.cache\huggingface\hub, but Forge seems to download the models to stable-diffusion-webui-forge\models\diffusers. Please help me figure this out because these models are quite big & i can't afford redownloading all the models again. I'm guessing my solution would be to find a metadata file somewhere in Forge folder but i couldn't find anything.

Steps to reproduce the problem

N/A

What should have happened?

Forge should use the pre installed BLIP models.

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?
