Cancel Visual Studio: Easy Method
What is Visual Studio
Overview
Visual Studio is Microsoft’s integrated development environment (IDE) for building applications across desktop, web, cloud and mobile platforms.
It includes code editors, debugging tools, testing features and integrations with services such as Azure and DevOps.
Editions and delivery
Visual Studio is available as Professional and Enterprise subscriptions, retail purchases, and through app stores or third-party resellers.
Subscriptions can be managed via Microsoft services (cloud) or by the store where you bought the licence (Microsoft Store, Apple App Store, Google Play, or a reseller).
How to cancel Visual Studio
Cloud subscriptions (Visual Studio Marketplace)
- Admin sign in: go to manage.visualstudio.com.
- Set subscription quantity to zero for the subscription you want to stop.
- Saving the change stops automatic renewal; the subscription remains active until the scheduled billing date.
Retail purchases (Microsoft Store)
- Sign in to your Microsoft account at account.microsoft.com.
- Go to Services & subscriptions > Manage Visual Studio subscription > select Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
- Watch for a confirmation email after cancellation.
Third-party app stores and resellers
- If bought via Apple App Store or Google Play, contact Apple or Google directly to cancel; Microsoft cannot cancel those subscriptions.
- If purchased from a third-party retailer, follow that retailer’s cancellation process or contact them for help.
What happens when you cancel
Access and features
When you cancel a subscription, you typically keep access to paid features until the end of the current billing period.
After the billing period ends, features tied to the subscription will stop working unless you renew or re-subscribe.
Billing and renewal
Cancellation stops future automatic renewals, but does not always produce an immediate refund.
For cloud Marketplace subscriptions, setting quantity to zero prevents renewal while the subscription stays active until the scheduled billing date.
Data and linked services
Data in projects, repositories or cloud services may remain accessible according to Microsoft and platform retention policies.
Export any critical data or configuration before the subscription lapse to avoid loss or restricted access.
Will I get a refund?
General policy overview
Refund eligibility varies by region, purchase platform and subscription type; refunds are not guaranteed.
For many cloud subscriptions, cancellation stops renewals but does not trigger pro‑rata refunds, especially for annual plans.
Country-specific and platform exceptions
- Certain countries have prorated refund rules (examples include Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany for purchases after March 1, 2022, Israel, Korea, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Turkey).
- Nigeria is not listed among jurisdictions Microsoft publishes special refund rights for; assume refunds are limited unless explicitly offered.
- If you bought via Apple or Google, their refund and chargeback processes may differ - contact them directly for those claims.
What you should do
Check the receipt, purchase platform terms and the Microsoft cancellation confirmation for any refund statements.
If you believe you qualify for a refund, contact the platform where you purchased (Microsoft support, Apple, Google or the reseller) and keep proof of purchase.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Local legal summary
Nigeria is not listed among jurisdictions Microsoft publishes for prorated or statutory refund rights under its published policies.
Therefore assume cancellation will stop future billing but refunds are not guaranteed unless Microsoft or the retailer explicitly offers one.
Practical steps for Nigerian consumers
- Confirm the purchase platform (Microsoft Store, Marketplace, Apple, Google, or reseller) to know which policy applies.
- Keep receipts, order IDs and confirmation emails as evidence if you request a refund or dispute a charge.
- Consider contacting Microsoft Nigeria or the retailer for clarification and escalation.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users report strong debugging tools, deep integrations (for example Jupyter and Python), and high-quality IDE features.
These strengths make Visual Studio a popular choice for complex .NET, C++ and cross-platform development.
Negative feedback
Some users report performance issues such as slow startup, high memory usage and occasional instability.
TrustPilot shows mixed feedback (average TrustScore around 3.1/5 from 20 reviews) and there were no Nigeria-specific review sets found.
Documentation checklist
Essential items to gather
- Account email and subscription ID or order number.
- Proof of purchase or receipt (credit card/bank statement line).
- Billing cycle date and renewal date.
Optional but helpful items
- Screenshots of subscription settings, cancellation confirmation and any error messages.
- Information about where you purchased (Microsoft Store, manage.visualstudio.com, Apple, Google or reseller).
Common mistakes
Wrong platform cancelled
Users sometimes try to cancel via Microsoft when the purchase was made in Apple App Store or Google Play.
Always confirm which store or reseller processed the purchase before attempting cancellation.
Expecting automatic refunds
Some customers assume cancellation immediately triggers a prorated refund; many cloud subscriptions stop renewals without pro‑rata refunds.
Check the subscription terms and ask support for written confirmation if you expect a refund.
Missing confirmations and records
Failing to save cancellation confirmation emails or screenshots can make disputes harder to resolve.
Keep all correspondence and timestamps until billing and access are clearly settled.
