# Do I need to cancel the free trial to avoid being charged?

No. There's nothing to cancel, because the trial never takes a card. If you decide Storage Studio isn't for you, simply stop using it; when the trial ends you won't be charged anything.

If you want to remove the app as well, use the uninstall option so it tidies up properly — see [getting started](https://storagestudio.us/faq/getting-started/).
