How do I disable the new Auto Delete Old Conversations?

I tried enabling the new feature to automatically delete 1 year old messages in iOS11. I pressed Enable and a green checkmark appeared. How do I turn this feature off again?


Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Auto Delete Old Conversations


It looks exactly as it does here:

I accidentally enabled this as well - would like to turn it off. Also - how do I validate everything is still on my iphone and not gone?
