Workspace youate is over the 1 GB Free workspace limit.
Repository youate-jekyll was approximately 2.8 GB.
I rewrote the repository history with git filter-repo, removing media/blog.
The cleaned repository is now 159 MiB locally.
Bitbucket is in read-only mode and rejects the force-push of the cleaned history.
Please allow/perform the repository cleanup/GC or advise how I can push the rewritten history while the workspace is read-only.

Hi @csibu ,

I've pinged the forum support team to take a look at this and potentially run GC on that repo/workspace. 🛎️
Someone should get back to you within 1-2 business days (usually it's quicker than that).

Cheers,
Tobi
