I added some large csv files to a Git repo not knowing that Git does not allow such large files. I had already committed the files, so then I deleted them and committed those deletions ( all done with Github Desktop). However, I have not been able to sync any commits since that time. As of now:

  • The csv files are not in my git directory.
  • I have also added *.csv to my .gitignore file.

  • I have also run a git rm *.csv in the relevant directories.

    None of this has helped. I am still getting the following error every time I try to sync:

GH001: Large files detected. You may want to try Git Large File Storage...File subdir/large.csv os 256 MB. This exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB.

What could be going wrong here, and how can I get back to syncing with my remote repo?

    The limitation is with GitHub, not with Git itself. Also note that the very first result for "remove large file from git" is GitHub's [own documentation for this issue](https://help.github.com/articles/removing-files-from-a-repository-s-history/). – larsks Apr 27 '16 at 21:57
  • That might not seem like a duplicate, but it is. You should follow [my answer to it](http://stackoverflow.com/a/36779028/14660) and use the latest BFG with git-lfs support. – Schwern Apr 27 '16 at 21:57
