Bitbucket Repository Size Not Reduced After Removing Large Files from Git History — Please Trigger

Nilesh Kuhikar

Hi,

I removed large binary files (APK files, ~28MB each) from my repository's git history using git filter-repo and force-pushed all branches to the remote. The files are no longer referenced in any
branch or tag, but the repository size has not reduced because garbage collection hasn't run yet.

Could you please trigger a GC (garbage collection) on my repository to reclaim the disk space?

Repository: [git@bitbucket.org:simple-invoice-manager/simple-invoice-android.git]

Thank you.

Hey @Nilesh Kuhikar

Welcome to the community.

I have triggered garbage collection on the affected repository, reducing its size to below 1 GB. It is still quite large, so you might want to further decrease its size to prevent exceeding the 1 GB limit again in the future.

Hi, Syahrul
Thank you for running garbage collection on the repository earlier.

The repository size is still relatively large, and we would like to further reduce it to avoid exceeding the 1 GB limit again in the future. Could you please trigger garbage collection once more for the affected repository?

Please let us know once it has been completed.

Thank you.

Hey @Nilesh Kuhikar

I have triggered GC again, and the repository size is now reduced to below the 1 GB limit.

I hope this helps.

Hi, Syahrul
We again rewrote the repository history to remove large files and force pushed the cleaned history using a mirror push.

Could you please run garbage collection again on the repository to remove unreachable objects from the old history and update the repository size?

Thank you.
