When git repository file size exceeds the limit, push are rejected

I have repoA. And I am pulling from repoA and starting a new repoB. When I started pushing to repoB with the following command:

git remote add newName [email protected]:username/foo.git // this is bare

git push -u newName master

Total 6378 (delta 3030), reused 2533 (delta 388)
remote: error: GH001: Large files detected.
remote: error: File seqana/testdnaqualstore.dqc is 108.42 MB; this exceeds GitHub Enterprise's file size limit of                                                               100.00 MB

Even I have removed the large file from repoA, the push to repoB is still getting exactly the same error message. I have tried all the posted method of solving this problem. All still not working. This is a test file that does not have to be in the repository. I can completely removed it from repoA. I wonder anyone has come up with a solution to this.

repoA has a larger file size limit.

remove file from commit history and retry pushing repo data to new repository. You may either use "git filter-branch" or "BFG Repo-Cleaner" to completely remove files from history. For more details please follow "delete file from git history". Hope this will solve your problem.
