What is the simplest way to remove big files from a repo

Question

This question must already have been asked a hundred times - yet the forum agent does not find any relevant articles that I can use.

I need to clean up my workspace due to the 1 GB limit.

How can i identify the big repo's? I have found one way, which is to open each repo one by one (I have nearly 100) and look under repo settings > repo details. That's not very efficient.

I also tried to clean some known big repos, but after cleaning, the size of the repo did not drop (as per repo details).

Obviously I'm doing it wrong.

How do I identify and permanently remove the files that i find?

Should I start over in a new workspace?

Thank you - excellent suggestion. I managed to install it and it gave me the answers I needed.

Another approach, which I just found out and I'm not sure if I entirely missed it or if it was added recently, is that the size of each repo is now also displayed in the repo overview: https://bitbucket.org/[your org]/workspace/repositories/?sort=-size

Hi @Jesper H-Nielsen - There's a Forge app that can help you identify and manage large repositories:
