How to cleanup garbage in remote git repo

Question

I recently ran into a size limit with my Bitbucket repo. I followed the countless other questions answering how to clean up your git repo and ended up using BFG to remove so

Answer 1

If anyone else is experiencing this, the answer turned out to be yes.

Bitbucket support ran the following:

git reflog expire --expire="1 hour" --all
git reflog expire --expire-unreachable="1 hour" --all
git prune --expire="1 hour" -v
git gc --aggressive --prune="1 hour"

The before and after reduced the remote repo size from over 2GB, to under 1GB.
