@Codeberg There's a repository to which several MB of video were accidentally committed and pushed. The broken commits have since been rebased away, but the storage isn't going down. Does that mean that there are still references to it in the repository – and if so, is there a way to delete them?

@wizzwizz4 That's something that we get asked a lot - I think it is mentioned in our FAQ, but *something something* "wait for the garbage collector to remove the old files first". Not too sure :D ~n

@Codeberg Yeah, it's been almost a year since last activity in the repo, and the garbage collector still hasn't done anything.

Is there a way of telling when the garbage collector last ran?

@wizzwizz4 No. What you're saying is also something happens sometimes, though. I don't know exactly why, but you should get in touch with ~f / Otto (best done through the Codeberg chat, or on here) and tell him to run it manually. (This is something Otto has had to do before.) ~n
