I tried these :

 git filter-branch --index-filter "git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch project.rar" HEAD

and then git push --all but not work.

You must follow GitLab's guide to purge files from a repository to actually reduce the repository size.

You must export your project, run git filter-repo, then upload the resulting filter file to GitLab's repository cleanup.
