Request to Run Garbage Collection on Bitbucket Repository

Nilesh Kuhikar
March 16, 2026

Hello Bitbucket Support Team,

I would like to request a manual garbage collection (GC) run on our Bitbucket repository to remove unreachable and dangling Git objects and reclaim repository storage.

Repository details:

Repository: [git@bitbucket.org:simple-invoice-manager/simple-invoice-android.git]

Thank you.

Hey @Nilesh Kuhikar ,

For contacting Bitbucket Support Team you can open a ticket from here.

For further information on maintaining Git repo in your instance, you can check this document. However, as far as I know, you need to open a ticket for Cloud instance.

Thank you @Salih Tuç 

However, when I try to open a ticket, it redirects me to the “Explore Communities” page.

I have cleaned the repository using git-filter-repo, and I kindly request you to run GC (garbage collection) on the Bitbucket server for my repository, as it is currently close to the 1 GB limit.

Please let me know once the process has been completed.

Thank you.

Hi @Nilesh Kuhikar ,

On your Bitbucket page, can you click to the Help -> Support.

After that, you will see "Contact Support" button at the bottom of the page.
