I've just run BFG on my repository:

https://bitbucket.org/DanLowry/dan

 

It seems to have increased the repository size rather than decreased it.  Can GC be run please?

Hi Daniel, 

Welcome to the Community!

I've manually initiated a garbage collection on your repository and managed to reduce its size to 198.5 MB.

Can you please confirm if everything looks good on your end?

Let us know if you have any other questions.

- Phil
