Too many properties files,make Linux server inodes full

I‘m using nexus-3.0.2-02 as my maven repository.
Recently I found my linux server‘s inodes nearly 100%,because there are more and more properties files like below,its growing everyday.

What are these files uesed to do? Every property file contains a deleted=true flag like this one.

#Wed Jul 03 16:10:49 CST 2019
deleted=true
@BlobStore.created-by=anonymous
size=1010
@Bucket.repo-name=maven-public
creationTime=1562141424318
@BlobStore.blob-name=cn/com/cathayins/claimcraft-cornerstone-toolkit/0.0.4-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml
@BlobStore.content-type=application/xml
sha1=6723a9f3d44462d4141c4eaa7134d81b567925f3

PS: I’m now creating a new docker every time to compile my codes,and there is no local .m2 directory to cache my jars.

I can really really use some help,if anyone has some solutions,please contact me,thank you very much.

Because this version is so old, you will need to use these instructions to do this upgrade:
