On what intervals bitbucket runs automatic garbge collection?

Amit Likhar

At what intervals does Bitbucket run automatic garbage collection? Our workspace shows 1.25GB of used storage, even though I removed large files from the repository yesterday. However, the storage usage in the repository details remains unchanged. Could you please run garbage collection manually on our workspace?

Hi Amit and welcome to the community!

A garbage collection runs on every push but with different parameters every time depending on many different conditions. If the automated git gc doesn't clean up your repo, you can always create a question in community and ask that we run it manually for your repo.

Can you please let me know, which repository or repositories did you remove large files from and you would like us to run a git gc for? Please don't post URLs, as this is a public forum. You can just provide the repo name(s) masked, e.g. something like this re*****s***y, so I can identify them among the ones you have access to and run a git gc for them.

Kind regards,
Theodora
