You can archive iCloud data Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support
And then manage iCloud storage space Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support
Note : turning off iCloud Drive will temporary stop syncing of applications with iCloud but won't reduce iCloud data .
