The information I believe you are looking for can be found here in the documentation.
Deactivation results in the following actions:
The StorSimple Cloud Appliance is removed from the service.
The virtual machine for the StorSimple Cloud Appliance is deleted.
The OS disk and data disks created for the StorSimple Cloud Appliance are retained. If you are not using these entities, you should delete them manually.
The hosted service and Virtual Network that were created during provisioning are retained. If you are not using these entities, you should delete them manually.
Cloud snapshots created by the StorSimple Cloud Appliance are retained.
Hopefully that answers all your questions. I recommend reaching out to Support for StorSimple if you have further questions or issues.
