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

[Optiontrading_app]

hello

I had several big files and had many many revisions of those files checked in. I guess that led to the Repository is over the size limit (4 GB) and will not accept further additions warning.

I've deleted all big files in local and when I tried to push, I am getting a warning 

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

any idea?

Hi @Optiontrading_app and welcome to the community.

I ran a git gc for your repo that was over the 4 GB limit, its size is 28.6 MB now.

Does this agree with the size of your local repo, if you run git count-objects -Hv ?

We have a feature request to allow users to run a git gc for their remote repos:

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

I would suggest adding your vote to the feature request (by selecting the Vote for this issue link) if you'd be interested in that feature. You can also add yourself as a watcher (by selecting the Start watching this issue link) if you'd like to get notified via email on updates.

Kind regards,

Hi @Optiontrading_app 

Welcome to the Community!!

You will need to reduce the size of the repository in order to continue working with that,

Please follow the guide here

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/reduce-repository-size

You may need to consider removing binary files or tracking them via LFS!!

Thanks,
Pramodh

i I've already reduced the size of the repository. I deleted the files in my local branch. I am trying to push the deletion to bitbucket but I can't do so because I am over 4gb right now.

You will need to raise the Atlassian Support ticket in order to get assistance on this one!!
