Request to Run Garbage Collection – Workspace Storage Not Updated After History Rewrite

[Faraz Ahmed]

Hello,

We recently rewrote the repository history using git filter-repo to remove large files and force pushed all branches to Bitbucket.

The repository size locally (fresh clone) is now approximately 50MB, and git count-objects -vH confirms the repository is clean.

However, Bitbucket is still showing significantly higher storage usage (over 500MB for the repository / workspace), and the workspace appears to be counting old objects that should no longer exist.

It appears that server-side garbage collection has not yet run.

Could you please trigger garbage collection on this repository/workspace so that the storage usage reflects the current repository size?

Thank you for your assistance.
