Unable to get the repo size to below 4GB

[Deepak Thomas]

Hi, can anyone from the Atlassian team help us get our repo size to below 4GB? It is currently at 4.05GB and we can't seem to prune it as it is disallowing any git push, git gc, etc

[Deepak Thomas]

any chance we/someone can do a git gc on the server side?

Hi @Deepak Thomas 

I am not with the Atlassian team, but I wanted to suggest this article to give you some ideas/steps to try:

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/reduce-repository-size/

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Bill, we'd followed that exact link before as per Atlassian's pointers and tried to remove large files. We couldn't try undoing the last push because the large commits were made earlier. We have been unable to get ahead yet. That's why I was hoping the Atlassian team could do a `gc` from the server.

Thanks for trying to help.

This is where we are stuck. After following all the steps mentioned in the Atlassian doc, we can't get ahead. Same error with a force push too.
