Nexus don't free space after remove docker images

[Stefano]

Hi, i'm new to Nexus, i use it only for provate docker registry. It work very well but if i remove docker images from repository (using web interface), the space occupied does not change...you have to do something else?

Thanks

Hi Stefano,

Have you run the “Compact blob store” task?  You can either run this manually or according to a specific schedule:

https://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/3.1/reference/admin.html#admin-repository-blobstores

https://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/3.1/reference/admin.html#admin-system-tasks

We’re also working on a task to help purge dangling docker images: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-9293

Cheers, Stuart

Thanks Stuart,
i have already run the "Compact blobstore" but no change anything, i
pushed for test too many docker images and now i removed all, except
one, the space used by repo is 4,4 GB, the image stored is 1 GB, i need
clean repository....it seems is a bug

OK, that sounds like the orphaned layer situation that https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-9293 will also address
