Delete Data
Just removing a file from a repository with version control does not actually remove it. It is still available in previous commits and remains in the repository, using up space. Deleting files from all commits of a repository can be required for several reasons:- Files contain secrets such as passwords or keys
- Files may contain copyrighted, stolen unlicensed data or data not ready for publication
- Large files that should not be in the project making it unnecessarily big and exceed the project space limitations
Triggering a repository cleanup is essential for freeing space if that is the goal. If it has no effect then please try again after 30 minutes.
