Not able to clean up the repository due to repository size increased more then 2 GB

Question

By mistake our developer pushed changes which were not required and size increased more then 2 GB.

We are doing the cleanup and removing those changes from Git history but we are not able to push as size is already more then 2 GB. Please look into this. It is urgent

Hi @Bhaskar Dabhi,

I've checked your Bitbucket Cloud account again but I haven't been able to find any repo exceeding the 2 GB. Could you let us know the name of the repo and username of the owner, so I can have a look?

Cheers,

Ana

Hi Ana,

Can you do this for us? One of our repository has crossed 2 GB limit. This time we didn't push anything still size got increased suddenly @Ana Retamal can you please do this on priority?

Hi @Bhaskar Dabhi, welcome to the Community!

I've checked your Bitbucket Cloud account and I haven't found any repository exceeding the 2GB.

Keep in mind that to continue using the repository you’ll need to undo the last commit that brought the repository over limit; we won't be able to do anything on our end if the size of the repository is bigger than 2 GB. Undoing the last commit will bring the size below the 2 GB limit and remove the push restriction, allowing you to perform maintenance on the repository. If after you follow this step the remote is still showing 2 GB then we'll be able to run a manual garbage collection to make the size of the remote matches the size of your local. The instructions can be found at Reduce repository size.

If you have already followed these instructions, or if you're having any difficulties, please let us know so we can continue helping you. Remember to tell us also the name of the repo so we can find it.

Best regards,

Ana
