This suggests that the files on disk have been deleted.

If you’re using Nexus inside a docker container ensure that you’ve configured a volume as per the [Persistent Data](https://hub.docker.com/r/sonatype/nexus3) section.

I’m currently running Nexus on a Linux server, not within a Docker container.
