Repository size not updating after force-push of cleaned history

om dev

 recently rewrote and force-pushed the history of my Bitbucket repository to remove large binary blobs, but the “Repository size” shown in the Bitbucket UI still reports the old (large) value. A fresh clone from Bitbucket confirms that all big files are gone!

Hey @om dev 

I have triggered GC on the large repository in your workspace, and most of them have reduced in size. Could you please review them?

Hi  @Syahrul 

I reviewed the repositories. The GC really helped reducing the size significantly.

Thank you for your support.

Hello @om dev 

I flagged this post for Attention Atlassian Support.

This will probably need Backend cleanup.

Best,
