Hi - I had an another issue yesterday that got resolved but in the process of that I turned on Firevault. I will be working with a tech remotely on Thursday morning and the encryption will still be going for a couple days. I do not really care if my info is encrypted, can I turn the firevault off without creating a problem or is it best to let it finish as it notes in the pop up?
Thank you
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

You can not turn off Filevault until it has fully completed the encryption process. Then you can proceed to turn it off.
Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac

Thank you!
Can I turn off Firevault safely while it is in the middle of encrypting?
