### Checklist

- [X] The issue exists after disabling all extensions
- [X] The issue exists on a clean installation of webui
- [ ] The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui
- [X] The issue exists in the current version of the webui
- [X] The issue has not been reported before recently
- [ ] The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

### What happened?

"Settings/Actions/Unload SD checkpoint to RAM" cause no effect.
Complemmetar API call sdapi/v1/unload-checkpoint not working too.

In the original A1111 this works and free VRAM.

### Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Generate some image
2. note VRAM used by running nvidia-smi
3. Go to Settings/Actions, press "Unload SD checkpoint to RAM"
4. Rerun nvidia-smi: VRAM still filled.

### What should have happened?

Expected: VRAM mostly cleared after "Unload..."

### What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

Apple Safari

Research direction

Reproduce the issue through Settings/Actions and the sdapi/v1/unload-checkpoint endpoint while monitoring VRAM with nvidia-smi. Trace the handler for that action and compare its behavior with the original A1111 implementation; done means the checkpoint unloads and VRAM is mostly cleared.
