No unlock after canceling deployment.

I am getting error :
Executing task deploy:lock
In lock.php line 19:

Deploy locked.
Execute "dep deploy:unlock sitename.com" to unlock.

This started happening after I canceled the deployment. (gitlab job)
I have multiple sites that are using this deployment script.
only the one (site) that got canceled started throwing this error.
I guess my only option is to make deployment with unlock as a first task ?
