Is it possible to change visa category from B1/B2 to F1 with the same MRV fee?

Around Feb 2021, I filled out a DS 160 form and paid the visa fee for a tourist visa (B1/B2). However, due to the lockdown only 23rd has been shown as the available date. I have not taken the visa interview for this category. I have the following questions :

  1. Is it possible to change the visa category on the cgi account after the payment has been made ? ( From B1/B2 to F1)

  2. If not, would I need to repeat the whole process again ? Starting from filling out a new DS 160 form and then making the payment, Sevis fee and so on.

  3. Since I had a regular appointment scheduled but for a different category, and have not taken that interview, do I have to mention this if/when I have to fill the form for F1 visa ?

  4. Is there anyway to delete the application I made for the B1/B2 category ?

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
