Can you release the pre-authorization from my credit card / debit card?

Unfortunately not. All pre-authorization holds must be removed by the issuing bank in charge of the card, and the timing on the removal of the pre-authorization is dictated by your credit / debit card company. Most holds are removed within 72 hours of the actual charge being posted to the account. If your specific institution happens to take longer you may need to contact them to initiate the removal process.
