hi team

a question billion times asked but still ...

could you trigger gc for my repo as there is a clear mismatch between what i have

~/IdeaProjects/111$ du -h .
4,0K ./wordcards2.git/branches
176M ./wordcards2.git/objects/pack
4,0K ./wordcards2.git/objects/info
176M ./wordcards2.git/objects
4,0K ./wordcards2.git/refs/tags
4,0K ./wordcards2.git/refs/heads
12K ./wordcards2.git/refs
168K ./wordcards2.git/hooks
16K ./wordcards2.git/info
177M ./wordcards2.git

and what bitbucket ui shows:

wordcards2 -> 488.5 MB

so difference is around 300MB

the same issue is for studyanddev, here the difference is around 80MB

I also have a feeling that some of the repositories I deleted were not actually removed and are still taking up disk space.

thanks in advance
