recursive trash directories such as ./nexus/trash/.nexus/trash can consume large amounts of disk

In some rare cases, we have had reports of recursive trash directories under

storage/<repoid>/.nexus/trash

such as

storage/<repoid>/.nexus/trash/.nexus/trash/.nexus/trash

One method to trigger this ( there may be others) is to send the following delete request:

curl -X DELETE -u admin:admin123 http://localhost:8081/nexus/service/local/repositories/releases/content/
