I've a repository that was migrated from Mercurial to Git in the past, and this repository is on BitBucket. Now I need to move from BitBucket to GitHub, but GitHub saying to me that exists a big file, bigger than 100mb. I can find the branch of file with git log --all -- *MQ.rar, but when I execute the command to remove the file git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch *MQ.rar' -- --all, the file isn't removed.

I used the "Find Large Files" plugin on "Git Extensions", but the file isn't listed.

Maybe could be something with the file path that have acentuation?!

I don't know what can I do to solve this.

  • Possible duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/872565/remove-sensitive-files-and-their-commits-from-git-history. The answers to that question should resolve your issue. While that Q was specifically interested in sensitive data, the solutions also work for big files. [This Answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/14656358/5411817) specifically addresses large files. – SherylHohman Jan 18 '21 at 16:12

This can be an answer to your problem. I've deleted some sensitive data with the help of this repo. It basically deletes the files from your history and you need to make a push in the end. At Readme's most down part, there is a link that will guide you through.
