We recently removed some large files from the history of one of our repositories (`lea*******-dashboard`). However, the repository details still show 1.6GB, while my local repo indicates ~650MB (with `git count-objects`).

We'll move the remaining large files to artifact hosting later. But for now it would be nice to make sure that we stay under the 1GB limit. Would it be possible to run `git gc` on this repository? Thanks!

Hi Erwin and welcome to the community!

I ran a git gc for your repo and its size has been reduced to 646.9 MB.

Does it look ok now on your end?

Kind regards,
Theodora

Thanks Theodora. It all looks in order now, and brings us within the usage limits.

Cheers, Erwin
