2GB Limit If I remove some files in Bitbucket cloud will that allow me to push?

[dandoddsr]

I'm over the 2GB limit and looking for a less painful way to reduce the size so we can get operational.

I have folders for past themes that have no history, once committed they do not get updated.

If I delete those folders online, and assuming it is enough of a size reduction, will that work? I would delete them from local as well.

or do i have to do a git rm -r foldername ? to the bit bucket repo?

Hi Dan!

I'd advise against manually removing them from local and online. The best option would be to do git rm -r foldername and then commit this change, however, this is not going to delete this file from previous versions. If what you want is to completely delete the existence of this file, you'll need to re-write the history but this is way more complicated. There's a very good conversation on the topic here.

Hope that helps!
