DS160 is expired and visa paid using the DS160 confirmation page

Hi All, I have a question that's tied to H1/H4 Dropbox and DS160. I had filled out the DS160 last year and paid the visa fees in April 2024, created the profile on usvisascheduling but never submitted the DS160. now my DS160 is expired and I can't retrieve it anymore and I see on ustraveldocs I can still book the dates till April 2025 since that's available. Is there a way to update the DS160 in usvisascheduling with new DS160 number? what are my options?

Thanks

Hello!
You can update your DS-160 number in the usvisascheduling system by filling out a new DS-160 form and getting the new confirmation number. Log in to your usvisascheduling profile and update it with the new DS-160 number. During your visa appointment, bring both the old and new DS-160 confirmation pages and inform choiceADVANTAGES the officer about the update.

the problem I have is, I had not submitted the previous ds160 so do not really have any confirmation number.
