To prevent unwanted charges on a subscription, you can go to **Resources** menu for the subscription and select the resources that you want to delete. If don't want to have any charges for the subscription, select all of the subscription resources and then **Delete** them. The subscription essentially becomes an empty container with no charges.
If you have a support plan, you might continue to get charged for it. To delete support a plan, navigate to **Cost Management + Billing** and and select **Recurring charges**. Select the support plan and turn off auto-renewal.
