python - Heroku keeps installing the torch package which I uploaded before

Question

I am deploying to heroku but exceeded slug size of 500 mb.

remote:        Collecting torch>=1.0.0
remote:          Downloading torch-1.7.1-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl (776.8 MB)

Torch keeps installing with 700mb of space. I removed build cache and deleted torch in my requirements.txt but slug keeps installing the same torch 1.7.1

Answer 1

You have to push those updated requirements.txt in git also. After removing from requirements.txt you can do :

git add .
git commit -m "modify requirements.txt"
git push -u origin master

after that push to heroku

git push heroku master
