So I made a little error and at some point committed a big file called .RData that is 108 mb in size. I, kind of panically, then did a git rm --cached .RData. However, I still cannot push the commits to my remote. After the git push, I always get this message:

remote: error: Trace: 7c9c0060d88b48827d9e9904b1934066d6c1246b93268a4344e430c0603181fe
remote: error: See http://git.io/iEPt8g for more information.
remote: error: File .RData is 108.33 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB

However, I don't know where to look for this .RData-file. Its certainly not in the directory and when I do a git rm --cached, I get:

fatal: pathspec '.RData' did not match any files

Maybe someone has an idea how I could get rid of this file.

Might be in a previous revision, not necessarily at the tip of the branch you are trying to push. – eftshift0 Jul 13 '21 at 15:46
