Request: server-side garbage collection for 3 repos after git filter-repo history rewrite

Question

Hi Bitbucket Cloud support,

I am on the Free plan and my workspace is near the 1 GB limit (the push warning is already showing). The space is held by dangling objects from large binaries that were removed from history with git filter-repo and force-pushed. The API still reports the pre-rewrite sizes because no GC has run. Could you please run garbage collection on the workspace, or on these three repositories:

Repo 1: bitbucket.org/jj*****24/ass*****nt (API size 224 MB; a fresh clone is about 35 MB)

Repo 2: bitbucket.org/jj*****24/tr***el (API size 201 MB; a fresh clone is about 13 MB; history rewritten on 2026-07-14)

Repo 3: bitbucket.org/jj*****24/bil*****ds (API size 144 MB; a fresh clone is about 45 MB)

All branches were rewritten and force-pushed, there are no forks, and I have re-cloned locally. I understand that removing the hidden pull-request references may delete historic pull request data; that is acceptable for all three repositories.

Thank you.
