[SalesForce] Removing input value in Flow after using Previous Button

I have a scenario in Visual Flow where the user enters data into 3 input fields and navigates to next. Then, they use the Previous button to navigate back to the screen with the input fields and the blank out one of the values. Upon navigating forward again, the original values are still present (the blanked out input still has its prior value).
Does anyone have a method to have this "blank out" persist when using the Previous and Next button. I have had multiple issues related to the Previous button and the way data is cached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are they navigating forward after changing the value? If they are using the Forward button on the browser rather than the Next button in the Flow, that could be the problem. Also, does the problem happen when they enter a new value or only when they "blank out" fields?

[SalesForce] Flow variable is getting lost after clicking previous button

After doing a lot of research, I made a conclusion that its is not possible to store the variable data on clicking previous button in floe. So for getting the variable value , we should look-up that record we created before clicking the next button so that no new record will get created.

You will also need to dispatch the FlowAttributeChangeEvent telling flow the attribute value has changed like this

 handleChange(event) {
    let length = event.target.value.length;
    const attributeChangeEvent = new FlowAttributeChangeEvent('fieldValue', event.target.value);
        this.dispatchEvent(attributeChangeEvent);  


    // console.log(`length: ${length}`);
    if (length > this.characterLimit) {
      this.errorMessage = `Your answer must be less than 255 characters. Your character counts is ${length}`;

    } else if (
      (length <= this.characterLimit) &
      (length > this.characterLimit - 25)
    ) {
      let left = this.characterLimit - length;
      this.errorMessage = `You have ${left} of ${this.characterLimit} characters remaining`;
      this.fieldValue = event.target.value;

    } else {
      this.errorMessage = "";
      this.fieldValue = event.target.value;

    }
  }
