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

Question

Hello

I accidentally uploaded large files to the repository. Now I can't push new commits. I tried removing the file indexing, but that didn't help.
The size of the .git folder has not changed in any way.

How can I solve this problem?

Hi, Oleg.

I ran a GC against this repository, however, the size didn't change, so it seems like the large files are still part of the remote repository. As you confirmed you have removed them from your local repo, could you please run a git push --force?

Also, can you please run the following command locally and share its output with us?

git count-objects -vH

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards, 
Caroline

Hi, @Caroline R

We pushed a commit with large files removed. Now the repository does not contain these large files. But the size of the repository remains the same.

Repo name - Fitness Club 3D

Hi, @Oleg Vegera.

Could you please confirm if after removing these large files you have pushed the changes to your remote repository? As I have increased the repo size to more than 4 GB, you should be able to push it now. Also, can you please share the workspace/repository name masked (with asterisks) so I can confirm we are referring to the same repo?

Kind regards,
Caroline
