Apple One & Itunes Match

I have Apple One & Itunes Match. I am planning on cancelling Itunes match since it is included in Apple One BUT When I cancel Itunes match will all the music I loaded up a long time ago go away?

The changeover should be seamless. Apple One includes Apple Music. Apple Music is a superset of iTunes Match, and includes the matching and uploading features. That said you really should have a backup of all of the music that you've currently added to iTunes Match, and should not rely entirely on the cloud. If the cloud has the only copy of a track, and you delete in error, then it has gone for good. You cannot rely on copies downloaded to a device either, iTunes/Music will keep a downloaded item and mark it as removed, but the deletion is performed immediately on iOS devices.
