How to overwrite or delete an existing package version in GitLab Package Registry from CI/CD?

I have a GitLab CI/CD pipeline that builds and deploys a package into the GitLab Package Registry.

For a specific (and temporary) use case, I need the pipeline to delete the package from the registry if the same version already exists, so that the new build can be published with the same version number.

Is there a way to achieve this directly within the CI/CD pipeline or settings-ci.xml? I tried to add and remove -SNAPSHOT extension from version without success. Adding -Bin maven deploy command does not help.

gitlab-ci.yml

publish:
  stage: publish
  script:
    - echo "Deploying application..."
    - mvn clean deploy -s settings-ci.xml
    - echo "Application successfully deployed."

settings-ci.xml
