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 contains 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 !
