Remove app from Appstore and Upload new app with same name

I had an App in Appstore, i need to remove the app from sale and upload that as new app or record with same name. But i am unable to give the same name, it's showing an alert like this,

The app name you entered is already being used. If you have trademark rights to this name and would like it released for your use, submit a claim.

Is there any quick process to solve this? Please advise.

Thanks in advance

Let's say your app is called Awesome with current version v1.0.0, I think you might try to follow these steps:

1) Rename your current live app in something like: Awesome App

enter image description here

2) as explained in the image, to be able to see the changes you have to release a new app version, let's do it with v1.0.1

3) wait for approval, then as soon as it's on the store, submit for the first time the new app (with a new bundle identifier and so on) called Awesome.

4) finally you should remove from the store Awesome App.

Unfortunately that name is locked permanently and you have to choose another name. According to App Store Review Guidelines:

2.3.7 Choose a unique app name...
