Cancel new regime form 10-IE and file in old regime

I had filed the form 10IE on the income tax site in the anticipation that I will opt for new regime. But later I saw that I get more tax benefits in old regime. So I started to file ITR 4 using the old regime and it was submitted. But aadhar validation gives an error that I have already uploaded 10IE. My understanding was that until I file ITR all the previous individual forms are not valid.

The question is how to cancel or delete this form 10IE from the income tax website. It's not allowing me to delete or choose old regime even when I am yet to file the actual final ITR.

Quick Summary
A taxpayer mistakenly filed Form 10-IE anticipating the new tax regime but later realised the old regime offered better benefits. They've submitted their ITR-4 under the old regime, but face an Aadhaar validation error due to the prior 10-IE submission. The core issue is how to cancel or delete the submitted Form 10-IE on the income tax portal to proceed with the old regime filing, as the system currently prevents this change.

I don.t think, once enable, you can change it in same assessment year.

Yes, you can only file 10IE for next AY for withdraw of this scheme, once withdraw you can never switch to new scheme in whole of your life.

Dear Sameer, 

have you found any solution with respect to withdraw form 10IE in that AY or not. 
anyone can guide me as I also did the same mistake
