Removing a new app version from iTunes Connect

Question

I created a new version of my app in iTunes Connect using the wrong version number. I'd like to remove the new version which is in a "Prepare for Upload" status. How do I do this?

There are other question on SO about this, but they do not provide any answers, apply to a version that has a binary already uploaded, or are out of date.

I have a question in to Apple on this, but have not received a response yet.

You cannot remove the new version but you can change its version number, as long as you're in the Prepare for Submission state (ie. you might need to remove the build from waiting for review, also known as rejecting the binary, first). Here's how.

To edit the version number, select the falsely numbered version on the left on iTunes Connect (so NOT the "App Information", but under that the version "1.0.1 Prepare for Submission" etc), scroll down in the right pane to "General App Information" -- just below the App Icon you can see the version number and it's editable! Change it, hit save, and you'll see the version number change on the left side.

Update: Still valid in May of 2021.
