So, it has been an interesting journey, but time to remove git-lfs. Here follows a summary of the approach I used to safely remove git-lfs,

• commit & push everything
• create a branch, something like fix/remove-lfs
• remove hooks git lfs uninstall
• remove lfs stuff from .gitattributes (open file, delete content - don't delete the file!)
• list all lfs files, git lfs ls-files
• run git rm --cached for each file
  • if your list is big, copy the contents into a file.txt
• make sure you remove the number and asterik on each line, you only want the paths to the files

Go to Bitbucket and create a new repository (its better to have an empty repo)
    git clone git@bitbucket.org:abc/myforkedrepo.git
    cd myforkedrepo
    
** Make sure you do not create a README **

Now add Github repo as a new remote in Bitbucket called "sync"
    git remote add sync git@github.com:def/originalrepo.git

Verify what are the remotes currently being setup for "myforkedrepo". This following command should show "fetch" and "push" for two remotes i.e. "origin" and "sync"
