Hello all, we are migrating from TFS to GITLAB and im trying to configure our release management.
Our CI is Jenkins ( because of windows SDK's from external partys ). When a jenkins release is build successfully a .zip is created.
Then im using the API to upload the zip using : /api/v4/projects/'+projectid+'/uploads', headers=headers, files=files)
After that im creating a release using : api/v4/projects/'+projectid+'/repository/tags/'+tagid+'/release', headers=headers, data=jsondata)

Because of a large number of experiments, like styling the description, adding JUnit results in the description etc. And creating a lot of TAGS,
I can now share the *.zip with our Test team. ( GITLAB users )

I still have a problem, I want to remove releases with the "curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: "  ....
This works fine for existing TAGS. But the problem... i created more then 20 TAGS to make our chain work. So i deleted them from GIT.
I see a TAG as a shortcut to a hash in GIT.

How can i remove releases when a TAG doesnt exist ?

Thank you in advance.
