How to delete a beta testing app in google play store?

Question

I have an application in google play store as a beta version. I am able to get the beta version link and have provided it for beta testing to the testers. Now what I need is delete the beta version of the application and upload the application with the same name from different play store account. So what steps do I need to follow to delete the beta version of the application from my current account and upload the application from different account as a production version however the application should have same name as the beta version name?

Unfortunately you can't delete an app once you have publish it, the only thing you can do is to unpublish it.

As you can see in the warning message displayed before unpublish an app, the app remains available for existing users:

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO UNPUBLISH THIS APPLICATION?

When you unpublish an application existing users can still use your app and receive app updates. Your app won't be available for new users to find and download on Google Play.

For this reason the package name of your app remains in use. This is a huge problem because the package name must be unique on Play Store, so you can't publish the same app in another account.

The only viable solution is to unpublish the current app, change the package name of your app and upload in the new account.
