What is your primary intention in doing this? Is it just so you don't have a backup file, or is it because you are running out of iCloud storage? If the latter, is it just that you don't want to subscribe to more? Realize that using iCloud can be a key part of using a mobile device though it is possible to use one without it. If you do decide that you do not want to subscribe to more iCloud storage then you will have to learn a different way of using your device. You will also need to disable features which use iCloud to limit what is used to the 5 free GB you get.
Change your iCloud feature settings [iOS and Mac] - https://support.apple.com/HT207689 - "'When you turn off an iCloud feature on a device, information stored only in iCloud for that feature is no longer available on the device. If you turn off Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Reminders, or iCloud Photos on just one device, you can still view and change your information on iCloud.com and on another device you set up for that feature."
