If Nexus Repository Manager is not releasing storage after asset deletion, it is possible that the deletion process is not properly removing all references to the asset from the repository's metadata. This can lead to the asset still being counted as part of the repository's storage, even though it is technically deleted.
To resolve this issue, you can try performing a repository rebuild, which will rebuild the repository's metadata and remove any references to deleted assets. To do this, follow these steps:
Log in to Nexus Repository Manager as an administrator.
Navigate to the repository in question.
Click on the "Tasks" tab.
Click on the "Create Task" button.
Select "Rebuild repository search" from the list of tasks.
Configure the task to run on the repository in question, and select any other appropriate settings for your use case.
Click on the "Create" button to create the task.
Wait for the task to complete.
After the task completes, the repository's metadata should be rebuilt, and any references to deleted assets should be removed. This should free up any storage space previously occupied by the deleted assets.
Note that rebuilding a repository's metadata can be a resource-intensive task, and may take some time to complete depending on the size of the repository. It is also recommended to perform a backup of the repository before performing any maintenance tasks.
