# What happens to my files if I cancel?

[Plans & billing](https://storage.to/help/plans) · Updated 2026-10-01 · Applies to Paid plans

**Short answer**: Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for. After that, your permanent files get a 30-day grace period: subscribe again within it and they stay. After 30 days they're removed.
