That on its own might work. Reboot to see. If you still see 'inet6' then continue with the following steps.
At line 57 added 21 lines
If this fails to disable ipv6 (and on later Raspberry Pi OS it seems to be true), edit “/etc/sysctl.conf”:
{{{
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
}}}
Add this to the end:
{{{
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
}}}
Save and close the file, then reboot.
If you __still__ have ipv6 active I'd suggest just giving up. For some reason ipv6 is like a virus: once there, hard to get rid of. This has to be one of the more stubborn "features" that developers have been telling us is going to happen, never has happened, and has polluted our user space now for years (*grumble*).
%%information
One thing that has caught me out a few times: If you don't see an "inet6" line you have successfully managed to disable ipv6. That doesn't mean you will see an "inet" line. If your local router has previously allocated an IP address then your attempt to assign your Pi that address will fail. You need to choose an address the router will permit you to use. The best way to do this is choose the address that your router has dynamically assigned that particular device, then make __that__ address static (as you know ''it can be assigned to that device'').

After modifying the file you'll need to reboot for the changes to take effect.
