I have my DL, RC, and vehicle insurance documents in my Digilocker app. Yesterday, I renewed my vehicle insurance policy and uploaded it successfully. But the problem is, the old policy certificate is not being deleted. Tell me how it could be done.

Documents in the issued section of DigiLocker are deemed to be at par with the original physical document as per IT Act 2000.
Uploaded documents are not accepted by authorities as they are only scanned copies and doesn't come from the source of truth.
