Your best take would be to take a look at the unreachable loose objects
in your repository. One way to have a list of them would be to do a
git prune -n. Then you can look at the contents of each blob in those
with either git cat-file -p $sha1, or git show $sha1.

PS: What you wanted to use is git reset, not git rm.
