# What happens if I withdraw consent in Storage Studio?

Withdrawing stops all of Storage Studio's background activity and returns the app to the acceptance screen. **Nothing is deleted or uninstalled** — your files, moved items and settings stay exactly where they are.

To do it, open **Settings → Consent & Legal**, click withdraw, and confirm with **Withdraw & stop** (or choose **Keep consent** to back out). You can accept again on the next launch, or uninstall separately if you're leaving.
