Hello,

We are having some issues with the size of one repo, when we push to one of our repos it shows a warning message about the size of our workspace (we are reaching the limit). We have reduce the size of our repo from 650 MB to about 50 MB but when we get in bitbucket it still shows that the size is 650 MB. I have executed git count-objects -Hv and this is the result
count: 522
size: 2.25 MiB
in-pack: 59010
packs: 1
size-pack: 49.94 MiB
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0 bytes

Please run the gc, the repo is wi****d*ve******s/w*****-d****d.

Thanks

Hey @José Antonio 

Welcome to the community!

I have manually triggered Git GC on the affected repository, and the size has now been reduced to around the same size you mentioned. Could you please review it and confirm?

Regards,
Syahrul
