# Missing “Apt - Rebuild Apt metadata”

Hello, I am looking for task called “Apt - Rebuild Apt metadata” because cleanup policy does not rebuild metadata when deleting files. Task was added with version " 3.48.0" and I am using Nexus “OSS 3.51.0-01”, but can’t see this task on the list (check picture below). Anyone know why or have some other solution to rebuild metadata when cleanup is executed?

This task is specific to the SQL implementation of Nexus.

That doesn’t answer the question. I too am attempting to create APT repositories and Nexus is not creating any metadata.
