Try BFG cleaner https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/

But I agree with what Herve says. You may use this on your own github repo if 
you'd like. But leaving it as is, is a good option.

    Hi Jelena,
    
    The .Rproj.user/ folder and the .git/ folder are 2 different things. Not 
    sure exactly which one is causing you problem but they shouldn't.
    
    The .Rproj.user/ folder is an RStudio thing that should not be added to 
    git so make sure it's listed in your .gitignore file.
    
    The .git folder is a place where the git client stores information about 
    your local git clone. What is stored there is really git internal 
    business and you should never touch or try to alter the content of this 
    folder. Note that there is no need to list this one on your .gitignore 
    file because the git client already knows about this folder and will 
    ignore it. Nothing in this folder will ever get staged, committed, or 
    pushed so having files larger than 5MB there should not be an issue.
