Request for garbage collection

[Aarushi Mehta]

My repository "alive" is touching 3.6 GB on bitbucket, I deleted several files on it using git filter-repo (as recommended by the git project.) Despite pushing the same, size has not reduced, in fact it increased from 3.0 to 3.6GB. On pushing the local cleaned repo to a new remote (aka alive_reduced) the size is down to 200 MB. It is urgent that garbage collection be run server side. I have rewound head and pushed to trigger it automatically (Dangling commits enabled in Labs) but to no avail

It would be great if the support team could run gc server side.

Regards.
