Repository Size

[Lorenz Bertschi]

Hi, as everybody right now I am also cleaning my repository size. I have a repository which is indicated in bitbucket to be more than 300 MB. Strangely, even when mirroring locally, it is less than 2 MB, no big files even 1 MB, no clue how to reach the 300 MB. Any clue what the issue could be? Would be very happy for help :-)

Hello @Lorenz Bertschi ,

and welcome to the Community!

I've identified two repositories in your workspace that exceed 300MB. After running garbage collection, one of them was reduced to 131MB. However, the second repository remains approximately 380MB.

Could you please confirm whether you've cleaned up the repository locally and pushed your changes? Additionally, did you encounter any large files during the cleanup process?

I'm asking because it's possible that large files are still present on the remote side (Bitbucket Cloud) due to existing pull requests that reference those commits. (learn more on Repository size remains the same after deleting large files and running garbage collection (GC) on the remote ). If this is the case, our support team can assist you in deleting the relevant pull requests to release those objects and reduce the repository size.

Thank you, @Lorenz Bertschi !

I would suggest running garbage collection to see if that rectifies the issue.  https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/reduce-repository-size/  You can contact support and ask them to run it.  If you are on the free plan I can escalate and they can run it for you.

@Brant Schroeder Thanks for your quick response, I am indeed on the free plan, would be great if you could escalate. Thanks in advance.
