You can fill out more than one DS-160. Each time you fill it out you will receive a new confirmation number. My Fiancee filled out a DS-160 for her B-2 Visa, and then again for the K-1 Visa. I actually filled out 2 DS-160's during the K-1 process, first one that was filled out was missing information, and we had issues with the website pulling up the form for editing, so we filled out a second one. We had no issues when it came time for medical and interview.

Just make a new one. The old DS 160 will not matter. It will be in the system and you will be prompted that your data is already in the system and you will be asked if it was you. Just go and make a new application.
