I’d suggest starting with running [some tasks](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/nexus-repository-administration/tasks):

- Docker - delete unused
- Docker - delete incomplete uploads (usually this is automatic)
- Compact BlobStore (usually automatic, but is in charge of freeing space from deleted blobs)

The docker format uses manifests which references digests which is why files appear small, you’d want to read official docker documentation for details.
