To turn off Google storage, follow these steps:
1. Go to www.google.com/settings/storage. This will take you to the storage settings page.
2. Sign in using the Google Account where you purchased the storage. If you are already signed in, you will be taken directly to the storage settings page.
3. Once signed in, locate your storage plan under the “Your plan” section. Click on the “Cancel” option next to your plan.
4. A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm the cancellation. Review the information provided in this window to understand the changes that will take place after cancellation.
5. The pop-up window will provide details about the storage that will be removed from your account, the services that will be affected, and the date when the changes will take effect. Take a moment to read through this information and ensure that you understand the implications of canceling your storage plan.
6. If you are certain about canceling your storage, click the “Cancel plan” button in the pop-up window.
7. After confirming the cancellation, your storage plan will be turned off. Any additional storage you purchased will no longer be available to you, and your account will revert back to the default storage limit provided by Google.
It is important to note that canceling your storage plan will not delete any of your existing files or data. However, if you were using more storage than the default limit, you may need to remove or reduce the size of your files to fit within the new limits.
Additionally, any services or features that rely on the additional storage, such as Google Photos storage or Google Drive storage, may be affected or have reduced functionality once your storage plan is canceled.
If you decide to cancel your storage plan, I recommend reviewing your files and data to ensure that you are within the new storage limits. You can also consider alternative storage options, such as external hard drives or cloud storage services, to manage your files and data effectively.
Remember, the process of canceling your storage plan is irreversible, so make sure to carefully consider the implications before proceeding.
