Hey @baako 

Welcome to the community.

I’ve triggered garbage collection (GC) on the large repository in your workspace, but it didn’t reduce the size much. This indicates that the repository is already large in the first place.

To get it under the 1 GB limit, you’ll need to:
  • Reduce the repository size locally (for example by removing large files/history).
  • Delete the existing remote repository.
  • Push the reduced version to the remote again.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Syahrul

Hi thanks for letting me know i want to delete alot of the repository but i do not see the option to delete it anymore which is annoying, if you can delete the following repository 



that should free up some space

Hey @baako 

The options are under the repository settings. Check out our guide below on how to delete a repository
