Hello, Atlassian Team.


I've rewritten my repo history and cleaned the large files and folder. My local repo is now only 96M.

But when I try to push it, the repo size is still around 1 GB, which I think Bitbucket still counting my old blob / history. 

Can you help me to trigger garbage collection or recalculate the repo that I have, please? 


Sincerely,

Daniel Lee

Hey @Daniel Lee 

Welcome to the community.

I have triggered GC on the affected repository, and the size has been reduced to below 20 MB. Could you please review and confirm?

Regards,

Hello @Syahrul 


Nice to meet you.

I want to confirm that my repository size is already reduced below 20 MB. Thank you for triggering the garbage collection. It means a lot.
