There is no automatic way to downgrade a business account to a personal account, you have to contact customer services and they will do that for you.
You can click on help / contact bottom left of every Paypal page for contact options for your country.
OR
You could just close your business account (removing all subscriptions / financial info etc first) and open a personal one.

I changed my account to a business account by mistake. If I close it and remove all my bank information, etc., can I reopen a personal account using the same email?

You should be able to use the same email but sometimes users get issues, allow at least 72 hours before you try to do so.
