Choose the right path

Billing owner and plan consequences

The seller shown on the account or receipt controls the cancellation. Review shared plans, bundles, promotions, credits, and add-ons before confirming.

  • Microsoft direct

    Cancel from Services & subscriptions in the purchasing account.

  • Apple or Google Play

    Use the original app store for cancellation.

  • Employer or organization plan

    The organization administrator controls the license.

  • Prepaid retail code

    The retailer’s return terms apply rather than Microsoft’s subscription refund window.

Keep proof

What to record before and after cancellation

Keep enough account-specific evidence to verify that renewal stopped and to identify the correct seller if another charge appears.

  • Microsoft account and order

    Identify the owner, product, and purchase date.

  • Subscription screen

    Shows renewal, plan type, and cancellation options.

  • Store or reseller receipt

    Proves when Microsoft is not the billing owner.

  • Cancellation result

    Records the access end date and any refund offer.

Troubleshooting

Why a cancellation can appear to fail

Most failures come from the wrong account, the wrong billing provider, an incomplete confirmation flow, or a plan change being mistaken for cancellation.

  • Wrong Microsoft account

    The subscription may not appear under a work, school, or alternate personal login.

  • Recurring billing only turned off

    An expired or prepaid plan may not show the same cancellation controls.

  • Store purchase sent to Microsoft

    Apple and Google control their own subscription transactions.

  • OneDrive impact ignored

    Review storage and shared benefits before the paid plan ends.
