Kopia repo is 100GB bigger then its meant to be

Hello, I use kopia to backup my ~ (home) folders on all of my linux desktops, each backup is around 2GB in size, but rarely changes from the last backup, so my total repo size used to be like max 6GB including user & host, I accidentally moved a large game to my home folder (which was about 100GB), kopia attempted to backup the game, but ran out of space & errored out, (the repo is an SFTP repo), I deleted the faulty snapshot which contained the large 100GB game files, however the kopia repo is still 100GB in size and I cannot seem to figure out how to remove it

Thank you, this worked :slight_smile:

For anyone with the same issue, I ran:

kopia maintenance set --owner=me
kopia maintenance run --full --safety=none (be careful when running this as it might corrupt your repo if there are concurrent operations happening or the repo is out of sync)

Still learning here, and I saved your note, but I have noticed that when Kopia machines are left powered on with the software active, they often suddenly spring to life and get very busy for extended time periods. So Iā€™m presuming the software automatically slims things down if CPU resources are available. Have noticed this phenomenon on multiple machines.
