Please run a garbage collection on my repo I force-pushed history and the repo size didn't shrink

kttann November 20, 2025

Hello Bitbucket Support Team,

I need assistance with triggering a server-side garbage collection on one of my repositories. The repository currently shows a size of around 880 MB, but I have already fully rewritten the history, cleaned large directories, and force-pushed the new, minimal history more than two days ago.

To verify the cleanup, I pushed the rewritten repository to another empty workspace, where it correctly displays a size of about 14 MB. This confirms that the local repository is already fully compacted, and the remaining size issue exists only on the original workspace.

Could you please help run a server-side git gc / pruning process on the repository so that the displayed size can be updated accordingly?

Thank you very much for your assistance.
