How do you take back a draw offer on a daily game?

Is it possible to take back a draw offer in a daily game?  I offered a draw for another daily game I was playing, but the next game where I was winning had already loaded, so it said I had offered a draw on the game I was winning.

You can't. Just like in over the board chess (OTB) once a draw is offered it can't be withdrawn.

Even if I meant it on the other game?

Correct. A draw offer cannot be retracted, even if you made the offer by mistake.

The same rule applies in FIDE competitions.

9.1 a. The rules of a competition may specify that players cannot agree to a draw,
whether in less than a specified number of moves or at all, without the consent of
the arbiter.
b. If the rules of a competition allow a draw agreement the following apply:

(1) A player wishing to offer a draw shall do so after having made a move on the
chessboard and before stopping his clock and starting the opponent’s clock.
An offer at any other time during play is still valid but Article 12.6 must be
considered. No conditions can be attached to the offer. In both cases the offer
cannot be withdrawn and remains valid until the opponent accepts it, rejects
it orally, rejects it by touching a piece with the intention of moving or
capturing it, or the game is concluded in some other way.

(2) The offer of a draw shall be noted by each player on his scoresheet with a symbol. (See Appendix C.13)

(3) A claim of a draw under Article 9.2, 9.3 or 10.2 shall be considered to be an
offer of a draw.
