Is there a way to cancel a ready to publish app version in "Publishing Overview"

I need to remove or cancel a prod version in the "Publishing Overview". I don't need to overwrite it with a new upload.

I went to Google Play Academy and did a course on Managed Publishing. From there this was an FAQ:

So, it seems that any APK will be replaced based on the latest version code. For example, if you have an app in 'Changes ready to publish' (in Publishing overview) with a version code 1 then you can replace said app with version code 2. The latest version will override the one in 'Changes ready to publish' and only version code 2 will ever be published to the Play store.

There is a walk around that you can use if you REALLY need to do this:

from Google play Console > Production > chose the release then > go to Countries/Regions tab > Remove Countries/Regions > remove all countries

By doing this the production release will still be there but not available in any country.

But I recommend uploading a new update.
