About a month ago I cleared the history of an oversized repository. The workspace size displayed by Bitbucket has not changed and I have been locked out from pushing changes. Can GC be run on that workspace please? Thanks!

Hi @snowbody 

I've just executed a garbage collection against that repository, this has reduced the size down from 2.2GB > 278MB.

Your workspace is now within the 1GB limit, so you will no longer be blocked from pushing.

I would suggest that you and your colleagues re-clone that large repository (re*********-da**) to avoid accidentally pushing back old refs.

Cheers!

Welcome @snowbody 

This is usually handled by Atlassian team, and they can do this within this community. Someone from Atlassian should be in touch with you.
