Repository size not updated

manyang

The issue we are facing is that the repository size shown on Bitbucket doesn't reflect the actual size. 

we have clean every file, folder and tags, but the repository size still 246.24 MB

I have read in similar issue, that bitbucket team has to run the garbage collection to reduce the size. 

is it possible to us  to run the GC by our self?

Hi @manyang 

When cleanup operations are performed, garbage (dangling commits) is created on the server-side that must be cleaned up.

This is usually an automated process that executes once a certain threshhold has been reached. However, it can also be executed manually by Atlassian support engineers upon request to trigger this process manually.

I've just gone ahead and executed a server-side gc, this has reduced the size of your repository down from 246.24MB > 51KB.

Cheers!
