Hi dragonoob69,

The data themself are not deleted. You should keep accessing your account and make sure it's not left unaccessed for longer than an year! Non active accounts get deleted (and their content in the same context), so keep this in mind. Since downgrade, you're going to get over quota. When you are in overquota you can still access/download/delete your data (using web browser) but no more able to sync/add data. Ability to sync data may be restored with new subscription or delete some content to fit within account capacity.

Hope this clarifies matter.
