Delete docker image

Sonatype Nexus Repository
1

Hello,

I created a nexus registry for storing some docker images.
I needed to manually delete one, so I did from web interface deleted the folder of the image wich contins manifest and tags for this image.

But still space on disk is no beeing free, I guess nexus still store blobs.
I ran the task “Cleanup unused docker blobs from nexus” but still no luck.

Any idea on what I am missing here ?

Thanks !

Hello Hugo,

You need to run the Admin - Compact blob store task to free up disk space from deleted components. When components are ‘deleted’ they are only marked as soft deleted.
