You must dump your data to files, shut down MySQL, delete your current
InnoDB tablespace and log files, reconfigure the server, restart MySQL
and let InnoDB create new (empty) files.  Then reload the data.

You should probably save your current data and tablespace files until
you are sure you complete this successfully.

It's an annoying procedure but there is no other way.
