Object deletion can be done with PdfReader.killIndirect(). This deletes a
single object.

When using PDFStamper to change the metadata, I get two copies of the
meatadata in the PDF file - the old one and the new one.
That is correct, as Stamper adds new objects along with an update
table, which tells PDF parsers to ignore the old one and just use the
latter one.
How do I get rid of the old metadata?
You'd have to run a process that would "garbage collect" the old
objects. iText does not support this.
