1. Delete or update processes that rely on Data Cloud data.
    
    Processes and features that aren’t updated break when Data Cloud is turned off.
2. Contact your account executive to exchange your Data Cloud home org license for a Data Cloud One companion org license.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-data-data_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/f3569962-3c9b-4f83-9d0c-b6a574e785da/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note After replacing your Data Cloud home org license, you can't access Data Cloud data, metadata, configurations and data spaces, though they remain in your org for a grace period of 120 days. To connect an org as a Data Cloud One companion org, delete all metadata, data, and data spaces.
3. Follow the [Data 360 cleanup](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_lifecycle_management_cleanup.htm&language=en_US) process to delete all Data Cloud data from your org.

After your Data Cloud instance and its data have been removed, initiate the connection from a home org to connect it as a companion org.
