Hi Atlassian team,

I have reduced my repo size for one of my repo's that was over 1 GB, but on Bitbucket it still shows it is as being over.

Could you run garbage collection and recalculate the repo size on your end?

 

Thanks,

Matthew

Hi @matthew 

I've executed a manual garbage collection on the server-end, which has reduced the repo size down to 195MB.

We do have an automated gc process, but this triggers only when a certain garbage threshhold is met - as your repo did not hit this, it required manual intervention.

Please check this and let me know how it goes :) 

Cheers!

Hello @matthew 

I requested assistance. An Atlassian Support engineer will respond on this topic. Until then, please have some patience.

Best,
