Repository size exceeds limit error persists after cleaning repo

[jasmc]

I've accidentally committed several large files to my repo and now it is not allowing to push the changes because the size exceeds 4GB.

I followed the instructions in Reduce repository size | Bitbucket Cloud | Atlassian Support and reverted my repo to the commit before I uploaded all the files.

I removed every branch of my repo except the master and all commits that happened after I uploaded all the files.

 I enabled the Delete dangling commits when over size limit  option in Labs.

After this, I noticed that the .git folder still was 7GB most of them being the objects folder. So I ran the Garbage Collection steps in Maintain a Git repository | Bitbucket Cloud | Atlassian Support and now the whole repo is 600MB.

I still can't push changes to the internet and if check online it still says that Repository size exceeds limit.

Did I do something wrong?

Let me know if I can give you more info. Cheers!
