Can you please run GC on my repo called "next-website-portfolio"?

Subject: Repository "next-website-portfolio" cleaned and reduced to 35 MB, but Bitbucket still reports 1 GB usage

The repository has been cleaned by removing the large generated files from Git history and rewriting the repository history to eliminate the unwanted blobs.

All references containing the large objects have been removed, and the repository has been force-pushed with the cleaned history. The only remaining branch is the cleaned main branch.

Local verification shows the repository is now approximately 35 MB:

git count-objects -vH

count: 0
size: 0 bytes
in-pack: 611
packs: 1
size-pack: 35.91 MiB
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0 bytes

The current repository tree has been verified and no large generated files remain. The largest tracked files are normal project assets, and the repository contents are now within a normal size range.

However, Bitbucket is still reporting the repository at approximately 1016 MB, which appears to be retained storage from previous unreachable Git objects that are no longer referenced by the current history.

Could you please confirm when server-side garbage collection will remove the unreachable objects and update the repository storage usage?

Thank you.

Hi @Jordan Jancic ,

This (garbage collection) needs to be done by Atlassian staff - at least that part when looking at the backend perspective. 

I've pinged the forum support team and someone should get back to you within 1-2 business days to clear this up.

Cheers,
Tobi
