Garbage Collection in Bitbucket

Question

Hello,

I am working on a repository that is near the 4 GB size limitation.

I cloned a mirror of the repo to local, and the git count was around 3.7 GB. I rewrote the git history to exclude a .hex file and my git count was reduced to about 1 GB locally. I reflogged and ran the GC locally. I force pushed my changed mirror to remote. The remote is still saying the size is around 3.9 GB.

Is there a way to trigger garbage collection on my Bitbucket Remote Repo to see if my changes have reduced my size?

Thank you,

Hi @Matthew Lenk

May you please raise a support ticket directly using your Premium workspace URL?

You have many repositories, so we'd need you to share the name of the repository you're referring to (which would not be appropriate to do so here, as this is a public forum).

If you're not able to raise a ticket - please let me know your timezone so I may raise one on your behalf with the team that operates during your working hours.

Cheers!
