You don't. It is only possible to remove the beta and restore with the latest shipping release, which is iOS 26.1.

What is the beta version number you are using that you want removed? That is what determines what version you can restore to, not the previous version you had on your device or any backup using that version.

Removing any iOS 26 beta will be restore to the latest shipping release of iOS 26, which is 26.1.
