Hi  
It works on my side. I can not tell you exactly what you need to do in which order but there are multiple tasks which actually really free up the space you use.

First you need to delete or update some images.  
In the settings → Tasks  
Docker - Delete incomplete upload  
Docker - Delete unused manifests and images  
Admin - Cleanup unused asset blobs  
Admin - Compact blob store (take the blob store used for docker registry)

Somehow the summary what does the job on my end.
