Your workspace is over 1 GB

[roel_trainstation]

I have got an email that says my workspace is over 1GB and I do need to reduce the size of the workspace.

Currently I have 1.68 GB of workspace storage used and one repository that is 1.18 GB in size. There is not much I can do to reduce the size, except maybe ask Bitbucket to trigger garbage collection.

Does upgrading from Free to Standard plan prevent my workspace from being put in read-only mode?

Hi Roel and welcome to the community!

I checked the Free workspaces your account has access to, and I saw one with a total size of 1.7 GB and a repo that has a size of 1.2 GB.

I ran a git gc for this repo but its size remains unchanged. Therefore, the only way to reduce the repo's size would be by removing any large files from its history. You can check this post of mine in a different question with more details:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Revert-bitbucket-repository-state-to-one-day-prior/qaq-p/1908360#M76762

If you decide to proceed with the steps mentioned in that post and rewrite history in the repo with BFG, please keep in mind that the repo's size will get increased once you push your changes. The repo will then need another git gc for the old commits (prior to history rewrite) to get removed and to get its size reduced. You can leave a reply here and I can run it again.

The other option is upgrading the workspace's billing plan to a paid one. Workspaces on the Standard or Premium plan don't have a limit on the total workspace storage used, so you can have more than 1 GB of workspace storage without being blocked. Please keep in mind that the repository limits (max size for each repo) still apply for workspaces on the paid plan:

If you decide to upgrade, please ensure you do this for the workspace that has the large repo.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora

@Theodora Boudale , 

I have a repo I'm trying to push to fix a quota issue, but being over-quota paradoxically prevents me from doing so, how do I get around this?

Hi @Pat C,

Can you create a separate community post? we can work with you on your post. Thank you!

Hi @Phil C,
