Request Garbage Collection

Supun De Silva_8jo9o2

One of the repositories I am working on was at 3.84GB; therefore, I went ahead and removed some large files using BFG Repo-Cleaner and pushed the changes to BitBucket. Afterwards, the repository showed a size of 4.42GB on BitBucket. When searching as to why that happened, I saw some other threads saying that garbage collection might need to be run on BitBucket's side to bring down the repository size. Would it be possible to run garbage collection on the repository starting with "training-large"?

Hi Supun,

I have executed a gc against that repository and it has reduced from 4.4GB to 592MB.

It is normal for repository sizes to inflate after using the BFG tool, as this creates dangling commits/blobs that must be targetted with a gc to remove. This will run on an automatic basis once a certain number of garbage is present, but you may also ask support at any time to execute this for you from our end manually.

Cheers!

Thank you!

@Benrather than clog up the forums with more questions, can I request the same for my team's repository "saltstack". I have attempted to remove some files from LFS, but every attempt to re-add them as regular files now results in a 0-byte file in Bitbucket, I assume because it still has the dangling hashes recorded.

Hi @James Howe

I've reduced your repo from 31MB > 19MB - please check this on your end.

Cheers!
