Acrobat DC Fill and Sign - How to change my Signature?

So I've been trying the Fill and Sign option in Acrobat Pro DC. It asked me my name and created a handwritten image to place as my signature.

Now I can't change it. I can't change the text, can't change it to an image, can't remove it. What if I changed my name, how would I change my signature?

I have seen some posts from a few years ago saying click the '-' next to the signature. These are greyed out and do nothing when I click on them. I can't find anything in the settings.

Does anyone know how to change a Fill & Sign signature?

I'm always thankful for community workarounds. I'm hopeful one day Adobe will have a smoothly working product and staff that replies to community issues promptly. This issue is 3 years old! I'm just running into this "bug" today where I need to update my signature. I'll be deleting the userdata files and see what happens.

I just found something that worked, at least for me.  I had a date in my signature from 2021, and obviously I didn't want that in there anymore.  My initials were blank, however, so I just put my name there and used that instead of my signature.  I then closed Acrobat and reopened it, and lo and behold, my signature line was blank and my signature was in the initials box.  I was also able to delete that as my signature, so they are both open now.
