Repo Size not reduce after clean some file

trductan January 22, 2025

Hello,

My other repository, which is not this one, has recently grown to its maximum size of 4.00 GB. I choose to remove a few huge files from that repository, however it appears that the size has not decreased. But since it's my workplace repository, I can't take any more risk.

I therefore choose to test this repository to see if it works, but it doesn't appear to. I deleted a few files from this repository, however the size increased instead of decreased after pushing. Could you look into this for me? I also use git filter-repo to delete my file.

Thanks!

G'day, @trductan 

Welcome to the community!

I can't find any repository on your account that exceeds the 4 GB limit. It's possible that an automated garbage collection has triggered on the affected repository and reduced its size. Could you please verify that?

Hello, @Syahrul 

Thank you for your reply!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that repository is on my company's workspace, so it isn't on my account. I just want to confirm that after delete file or transfer file to LFS, I have to contact the support to run Git GC and after run Git GC does the size reduce ?

Thanks

Hi @trductan 

Yes, if you are on a paid workspace feel free to raise a support ticket on our Support portal to request a manual GC.
