The below steps may help you:

To refresh an existing sandbox:

From Setup, enter Sandboxes in the Quick Find box, then select Sandboxes.

A list of your sandboxes displays. Sandboxes that you can refresh have a Refresh link next to their name.

Next to the name, click Refresh.
Review the name and description, and edit if necessary.
Select the type of sandbox environment you want.
Note
A table shows the number and type of sandbox licenses available in your organization. You can select a different sandbox type to refresh if it’s available.
Select the data you want to copy.

For a Partial Copy sandbox, click Next, and then select a template to specify the data for your sandbox. If you have not created a template for this Partial Copy sandbox, see Creating or Editing Sandbox Templates.

For a Full sandbox, click Next, and then decide how much object data to include.

To include Template-based data in a Full sandbox, select an existing sandbox template. For more information, see Creating or Editing Sandbox Templates.

To include All object data in a Full sandbox, choose whether and how much field tracking history to include, and whether to copy Chatter data. You can copy from 0 to 180 days of history, in 30-day increments. The default value is 0 days. Chatter data includes feeds, messages, and discovery topics. Decreasing the amount of data you copy can speed sandbox copy time.

Optionally, check Auto Activate. If you check Auto Activate, your sandbox is activated immediately after you refresh it, and you do not receive an activation email.
Click Create.

Salesforce starts copying data to the sandbox.

When the copy is complete, activate the sandbox to use the refreshed data. If you did not check Auto Activate while refreshing your sandbox, Salesforce sends you an email when your sandbox is ready to activate.
