What happens to the data after deleting it from one iCloud account?

I am paying for two iCloud accounts. If I get rid on one, what happens to the data stored on it?

Loss of Backed Up Data when Cancelling iCloud+ Plan:

You’d end up with having only 5GB of free storage, without an iCloud + Plan. So, back up all of iCloud*** to a computer, prior to this. Note that you can only restore your iPhone from a backup that is of the same iOS version. Downgrading is not an option, unless beta iOS is installed --you'd have to set this up anew for that.


***Properly Downgrading iCloud:

1. Download All of iCloud, First:

Prior to downgrading, download all of iCloud. That way you do not lose any data, once downgrading.. Use my user tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip
