Force garbage collection on repo?

avnere

I accidentally pushed too-large files to a free private repo, avnere/avnertheeccentric.com. This pushed it over the 1GB free limit, putting the repo into read-only mode. I was able to force-push a removal of the large commit, but the repo is still stuck in read-only mode. According to this post, it should be possible to force garbage collection to run on the repo without having to wait for the 30-day automatic garbage collection. Is this something anyone from Atlassian would be able to help with?

Hi @avnere

Yes, Support team can trigger garbage collection on the Bitbucket repo. Since you’ve already force-pushed the removal of the large commit, the remaining unreachable objects may still be counting towards your storage usage.

I’ll try pinging the forum support team to get someone from Atlassian to take a look. 🛎️
Someone should get back to you within 1–2 business days 🙂

Cheers,
Tobi
