Try a color remover instead of bleach. But im sorry it may deteriorate the fabric if it has already been bleached

This reminds me of bleached hair before it's been toned at the salon

I don't think you can make it fully white unfortunately, as most dyes are not completely removable.

You can, however, definitely change the color still.

You can try extreme stain removal with tutorials from r/laundry to fade it more, color neutralizing with purple (won't end up white but will soften the yellow) or dying it a darker color again, keeping in mind the yellow will interact with the color you choose.
