4 GB above commits are rejected

[Happenbox]

We are getting this error on pushing to repo. 

remote: Repository is over the size limit (4 GB) and will not accept further additions.

I cant find a solution.

Can support help please?

Hello @Happenbox ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Let me escalate this to Atlassian to see if they can perform garbage collection.

@Robert Wen_ReleaseTEAM_  Thank you... I'll wait for an update

Gday @Happenbox !

I have just executed a garbage collection against your remote repository - it has reduced in size from 4.0GB to 1.4GB.

 
Would it be possible for you to check it on your end (by navigating to your Repository > Settings) and see if that has helped?
 
We want to inform you that we do have a Feature request to provide the option to run the GC from the end-user GUI. This way you need not raise a community ticket and wait for the support person to run the GC on your behalf:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-11593 

I would suggest you "Watch" this ticket for future updates from our Dev team.

NOTE: You and your colleagues will need to perform a fresh clone of the repo before committing new changes, this is to prevent pushing back old refs and inflating the size again.

Cheers!

@Ben Thank you for the update. I've followed your instructions and everything is back working now. 

I'll keep an eye on the jira ticket also.

Thanks again,
