Hi

It works on my side. I can not tell you exactly what you need to do in which order but there are multiple tasks which actually really free up the space you use.

First you need to delete or update some images.

- In the settings → Tasks
- Docker - Delete incomplete upload
- Docker - Delete unused manifests and images
- Admin - Cleanup unused asset blobs
- Admin - Compact blob store (take the blob store used for docker registry)

Somehow the summary what does the job on my end.

This help doc, particularly the Docker section is what you’d want to review: [Cleanup Policies](https://help.sonatype.com/en/cleanup-policies.html#docker-cleanup-strategies)
