The steps required to cancel your iCloud storage plan are not difficult. When using an iOS or iPadOS device, a Mac, or a Windows computer, the steps are slightly different than when using an Android device.

How Do I Cancel iCloud Subscription Without Apple?
To cancel your iCloud storage plan, you don’t need to be using an Apple device or computer. You can also cancel it using a Windows PC if necessary.
Note: These steps are based on the assumption that you have the iCloud storage programme installed on your Windows PC.
1. iCloud for Windows should now be open.
2. Change the storage plan by going to Storage > Change Storage Plan.
3. Downgrade Options should be selected.
4. After that, select Manage and enter your Apple ID password.
5. Choose the plan you’d want to use. When choosing the free plan, keep in mind that you may lose access to some of the extra iCloud+ capabilities that you have as a storage user.
What Happens if I Cancel My iCloud Storage Plan?
You should expect things to shift slightly once you terminate your iCloud storage. The following are the two most major changes you may notice:
- Your data will not sync or backup to iCloud if your storage requirements exceed your available storage.
- Hide My Email, Private Relay, and HomeKit Secure Video compatibility are among the iCloud+ features you’ll lose access to.
