Bitbucket storage figure is wrong

Question

We have a repository that apparently is using 1.8GB of storage but the most that I have on any of our machines that have that repository checked out is 800MB and half of that (400MB) is just the .git folder.

Is there any way to get a breakdown of how Bitbucket work this out because I can not see how our repository is taking up that much space

@Nucleo Studio welcome to the Atlassian community

you most likely need to have Atlassian run garbage collection to clean it up.  I have escalated the request to them.

Hi @Nucleo Studio

I've just executed a garbage collection against your repository which has reduced the repository size from 1.8GB to 153MB.

Your workspace is now only 179.0MB/1.0GB so is well within the workspace limits that will be imposed on April 28th.

Cheers!
