Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
You don’t need to remove the old sitemap from GSC Google will automatically fetch the new sitemap since it’s already inside your main (sitemap_index.xml) file.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
