IntelliJ still using old dependency

I am currently using Intellij Idea 2020.2.4.

I want to replace a dependency with a newer version of itself. I replaced

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.company.digital.fmk</groupId>
  <artifactId>dgt-security</artifactId>
  <version>2.6.24</version>
</dependency>

with

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.company.digital.fmk</groupId>
  <artifactId>dgt-security</artifactId>
  <version>3.9.0</version>
</dependency>

I've checked that in the effective pom, the version has changed to the new value. However, after running mvn -U clean install, when I click on a class from the dependency, it still shows the old version.
When I try to delete the old version from the project structure, it says that it is still used in a module, even though I can't find the old version number anywhere in the project.
I can't manually delete the old library from my local folder, because it is used in another project.

Other answers have suggested using Maven -> Reimport, but I didn't find this in my intellij

What can I do to make intellij use the new dependency version in my project ?

EDIT

When I right-click on a project and select Maven, here are my options:

You can go to your Maven repository: .m2/com/company/digital/fmk Delete jar files Rerun command, it will download dependencies again.
