What does this git-LFS corrupted file error mean and how to fix it?

Im not sure why but something is a little screwed up on my repo and when I try to push my branch to github I get an error:

> git push
Git LFS: (0 of 1 files) 0 B / 61.99 MB
LFS upload failed:
  (missing) path/to/bigfile (50...4b)
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:me/myproject'

> git-lfs ls-files
50.. - path/to/bigfile

>  git-lfs fsck
Object path/to/bigfile (50...4b) could not be checked: no such file or directory
Object path/to/bigfile (50...4b) could not be checked: no such file or directory
Moving corrupt objects to /Users/myname/.../.git/lfs/bad
rename /Users/myname/.../.git/lfs/objects/50/b6/50...4b 
/Users/myname/.../.git/lfs/bad/50...4b: no such file or directory

Note that I don't care removing or deleting this file, it is not used anymore. (but the file is there!) I have tried to git-lfs untrack path/to/bigfile but no luck, and I can't push my branch.

How to fix this?

Recipe to fix corrupt lfs without rewrite history:

# set origin to original repo
git remote set-url origin ssh://[email protected]:7999/prod/A.git
git lfs update

# fetch lfs data from original repo
git lfs fetch --all origin

# set origin back to new repo
git remote set-url origin ssh://[email protected]:7999/prod/B.git
git lfs update 

# get missing lfs data from new repo
git lfs fetch --all origin

# push missing lfs data in new repo
git lfs push –all origin

# final check
git clone ssh://[email protected]:7999/prod/B.git
git lfs fetch --all origin
git lfs fsck
