How to downgrade from Purview Enterprise back to Purview Free ?

Question

I can't find any documentation to state yes or not, but is it possible to downgrade from Enterprise to Free once you have clicked the upgrade button?

I don't want to be stuck with the minimum 1CU unit, that cost is around $300 USD a month!

Hi @Guilherme Poggi

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

According to this documentation: Switch back to classic portal

Even after upgrading to the enterprise version of Microsoft Purview, you can switch back to the classic portal at any time using the toggle.

Linked resource - The enterprise version of Microsoft Purview is hosted by a linked resource in the Azure portal. If you delete this linked resource in the Azure portal, you lose all your Microsoft Purview information.

After deletion, you can reinstate the free version for your environment if it's been enabled for your organization by going to the Microsoft Purview portal. But you're starting your environment from scratch.
