Cancel iCloud Storage Plan Without iPhone
If you have a Windows PC, then here are the steps to cancel the iCloud subscription. When you are using iCloud for Windows, then I’m sure you must be using the app from Microsoft Store.
iCloud for Windows
- Launch the iCloud app
- You have to log in using your Apple ID credentials
- Then click on Storage > go to Change Storage Plan
- You will see your Current Plan(paid) and another Choose Downgrade option(free 5 GB storage)
- As we have to cancel the paid plan, then select the free plan that is the basic one with 5 GB free storage.
However, once the 5 GB storage space is consumed, you either remove the unused files or transfer them to other hard drives to make space in the iCloud drive. This is apparently the downside of having limited cloud storage space.
Also, if you do not wish to use iCloud on your Windows PC/laptop, you can uninstall the app as well.
