To remove the purchased space it is the same steps, however, you must have deleted enough backups so that you are under the amount of space you are going to remove. Please note that it will take 24-48 hours for the allocated space to reduce when removing backups.

If you are removing space before the end of the billing period we recommend you delete the backups at least 72 hours before the end of the billing period so that the allocated space reduces and you can remove the purchased space. If you do not delete the space you have purchased you will be billed even if it is not being used by backups.
