I have a Hugging Face Spaces app that I deploy to via GitHub Actions ([as per the documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-github-actions)) which contains a few example data of ~100 MB. I do a clean force push every time so there’s only a single commit on the Spaces repo. However, recently I started getting failing pushes. I assume this is because the LFS tracked assets are duplicated every force push, and not garbage collected internally. How can I repair this? ```auto Uploading LFS objects: 0% (0/1), 0 B | 0 B/s, done. batch response: Repository storage limit reached (Max: 1 GB) ``` ---

At the moment, the solution is unknown, but it seems that deleting large files in Spaces may be able to avoid the problem in some cases. > [@Freeing memory of my space](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/freeing-memory-of-my-space/128894): > > Hi I am getting the error: Repository storage limit reached (Max: 1 GB) So I want to delete some files from the space but the platform is not allowing me… Could someone help me to delete the files please?

> deleting large files in Spaces This sounds good! I’m not finding how to do that however since the git commit history is clean and only contains a few MBs of assets. ---

If that’s the case, the cause is different…🤔 To be honest, I think this is more like a bug than a restriction, so the conditions for it to occur are not certain. There have been quite a few reports on HF Discord and in the forums, so I think it will be dealt with eventually… Speaking of which, I don’t know if it’s related or not, but there’s been a bug for a while now where the upload process crashes when you try to upload a 0-byte file. ---

Facing the same issue with my space again: [Image Matching Webui - a Hugging Face Space by Realcat](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Realcat/image-matching-webui). I made some minor changes, but the `storage limit` error occurred ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/4/7/47dee2a2f0658d37595a29b271e97fe7dfa07b11.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/5/f/5f3d4901840a93d919d645febdebffa54c7c2d17.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/9/9/995bb610d10b940d8b6d98f9e2239d47b7241fb2.png) ---

Unlike the previous bug, that one is probably a new specification. There has been no major announcement from HF, so it’s hard to say for sure… > > > \### Describe the bug > > from HF Forum: > https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/upload-…large-folder-issue-with-uploading-to-spaces/129326 > > If you run \`upload\_large\_folder()\` with a non-existent \`space\`, you will get an error from \`create\_repo()\`.

It seems better to download them after starting up. It’s a pain that the old spaces stop working without modification…🥶 ---

Yes, it’s frustrating. I’m not sure why, but a small codebase works fine: > **[Realcat/imcui-dev at main](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Realcat/imcui-dev/tree/main)** > > We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science. I am considering removing large files from the commit history in the original repository. ---

@carlthome @John6666 I’ve finally found a solution: I deleted the LFS storage on Hugging Face, then re-pushed the changes. It worked! I encourage you both to give it a try. For some context, the size of the LFS storage went from 10.2GB down to 699MB. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/4/9/49ae696bc794a586ed35ed9b8cf7c58f57becf97.png) ---
