Our Opinion
One can follow either of these three methods to cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription. Cancelling your PlayStation Plus subscription will never delete your PlayStation Network account. If you are using PlayStation plus online storage to transfer your saved data to the cloud, you have to retrieve your saved data, before you cancel the PlayStation Plus subscription. Because once you are done with the cancellation, saved files are no longer found.
