Hi,
Still I face this issue. Is there any solution provided already?

Could anyone help?

The freeze API prevents writing to the database, you’d need to use the REST API to turn it off again.

Hi,
I have tried to unfreeze the database using API. In addition, tried to delete the frozen.marker file from the path /data/sonatype-work/nexus3.

But still unable to delete the repository. Still facing the same error.

Could someone help please?

Renitta,

Without more information, here are my two best guesses:

1. When you tried to delete the frozen.marker file, was Nexus Repository running? If it was, shut down Nexus Repository and try to delete again.

2. Are you almost out of disk space? If the Nexus Repository application server is almost out of disk space, it may freeze.

Hi Jonathan,

1. We deleted the frozen.marker file when Nexus was down.

2. And we have enough disk space too. Please find the /data and /opt paths.
   

   

In addition, I am attaching the log files, which was taken while attempting to delete a Nexus repo. Unable to attach the logs a file since its throwing ‘new users cannot upload attachments’ error.

Kindly help.
