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.
