In case you only want to delete tags that start with v:

for tag in $(git tag)
do
  if [[ $tag =~ ^v.*$ ]]
  then
    git tag "${tag/v/}" $tag
  fi
done

for tag in $(git tag)
do
  if [[ $tag =~ ^v.*$ ]]
  then
    git tag -d $tag
  fi
done

for tag in $(git tag)
do
  git push origin :refs/tags/v$tag
done

git push --tags
