file too large, but can't remove it

Description

Uploaded a file that exceeds size of a file I can upload. But I can’t remove it from the history when it asks me to, so whenever I try to push it tells me that I am trying to push a file that is too large and none of my files get pushed.

This worked for me:

A simple solution I used:

1. Do git reset HEAD^ for as many commits you want to undo, it will keep your changes and your actual state of your files, just flushing the commits of them.

2. Once the commits are undone, you can think about how to commit your files in a better way, e.g.: removing/ignoring the huge files and then adding what you want and then committing again. Or use Git LFS to track those huge files.

The solution that worked for me was to delete the entire local modified repository. Re-clone the Github repository. Restore my changes and then perform the commit and push.
