Unable to delete hostged npm component version

We are hosting Nexus Repository Manager version 3.36.0-01 and is needing to delete a component version due to the presence of malicious code.

Component details: colors v1.4.1 / 1.4.2 / 1.4.44-liberty-2

I have deleted the component via GUI by going doing:
Search > colors > colors Version 1.4.1 > “Delete Component” button
For example (this screenshot is for 1.4.0)

I can see the versions are no longer there in the GUI but when do do the following command locally

npm info --registry https://nexus.cd.auspost.com.au/nexus/repository/auspost-ddc-npmjs/ colors versions

We can see the version still exists:

npm info --registry https://nexus.cd.auspost.com.au/nexus/repository/auspost-ddc-npmjs/ colors versions
[
  '0.3.0',            '0.5.0',
  '0.5.1',            '0.6.0-1',
  '0.6.0',            '0.6.1',
  '0.6.2',            '1.0.0',
  '1.0.1',            '1.0.2',
  '1.0.3',            '1.1.0',
  '1.1.1',            '1.1.2',
  '1.2.0-rc0',        '1.2.0',
  '1.2.1',            '1.2.2',
  '1.2.3',            '1.2.4',
  '1.2.5',            '1.3.0',
  '1.3.1',            '1.3.2',
  '1.3.3',            '1.4.0',
  '1.4.1',            '1.4.2',
  '1.4.44-liberty-2'
]

Is there a way to rebuild the metadata in our current version?

Thanks

Just resolved this by going to Browse > repositoryName > packageName > Delete asset button

It was able to re-pull the current asset from source which does not include the malicious versions
