[Bug]: File too large/exceeds 100MB, so I delete file, still get same error

[ReaderGuy42]

Describe the bug

I put a PDF file with 123.46 MB in my vault because I was playing around with the beta plugin https://github.com/elias-sundqvist/obsidian-annotator which I could only get to work if the file was directly in the same folder as my note. That didn't work, so I deleted that, but now I'm getting error messages that Obsidian Git can't push because the file is too big. Thing is, both the folder and the file that it's telling me are the problem are no longer there at all. I also just emptied the system trash, but I don't think that did anything.

Linux

I tried using the terminal to clear the cache with git rm --cached -r Internship but that gives me this error:
fatal: pathspec 'Internship' did not match any files because that folder doesn't exist anymore.

But when I git add . and then git push it still tries uploading that file that's too big, but I can't find it anywhere?

[Vinzent03]

The file is too large for GitHub. I guess the file is already commited. That's why you can't push anymore and deleting doesn't help. You have to reset the commits containing the file.

[ReaderGuy42]

How do I do that? I cannot find that file or folder in my repo either, if that makes a difference.

[ReaderGuy42]

I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I got it to work. I tried git pull and then Obsidian opened a work tree of conflict files. I manually rm-ed and add-ed them, and then tried to push again, and then it worked. Thanks :)

[Gewerd-Strauss]

I am encountering a comparable issue, however I cannot replicate whatever steps @ReaderGuy42 has taken to fix it. When executing git pull from nside obsidian, no conflict tree window is opened, and hence I cannot continue.

Could you elaborate?

[ReaderGuy42]

Sorry, I can't remember what I did. I do this so rarely that I have to relearn it whenever there's a problem. Have you tried removing the whole git folder and re-adding it via git add . or something like that?

[ReaderGuy42]

This still occurs sometimes. It just happened to me again, and I can't figure out what to do now. Also @Gewerd-Strauss seems to have the same issue.
