How to EDIT already filled online OCI application

It sounds dumb, but I'm really struggling ways to edit my already filled application form.

I have filled the OCI application form and uploaded all the required documents along with photos. After taking a printout, I have realised that i have selected BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS as nationality instead of UNITED KINGDOM.

I want to correct this and I'm struggling. I tried OCI Miscellaneous Services
and its neither accepting my Temporary ID nor application ID to get in.

Can someone please help

As far as I know it's not possible to edit your submission. However if I was in a similar situation what I'd do is - just upload a fresh set of documents (click on "New OCI Registration" at the passport.gov.in/oci site and then choose "Fresh Application"). You'll get a new reference number (e.g. GBRL. ), then go to VFS and submit your paperwork based on that. Just ignore the old submission. After a few months of inactivity it should be removed from the system.

Thanks rmukherjee, thats a good suggestion. I have just managed to re do the whole application again.
