How do I delete the Realm?

First of all, you cannot delete your Realm, but you can change the world, or you can close the realm.

How do I get my world back?

If you want the world for just single-player or you want the file back, do the following.

  1. Go to the Configure Realm menu.
  2. Click on World Backups.
  3. Either click on Download Latest, or click on the arrow on any backup you want.
  4. Finally, it should be under Single Player.
    • Also, if you want the file of the world go to %Appdata%\.minecraft\saves.

I've just found out that you can delete Realms pretty easily.

Go to Configure realm -> Subscription and click 'Delete Realm'. That's it.

You may delete your realm once it expires by going to the Subscription settings of your realm and pressing Delete Realm.

Make sure you have cancelled your subscription and downloaded your world using the Download latest button found in your settings before you delete your realm.

However, if you are creating a new realm or want a different world, it is always recommended that you use your current realm and not delete it, and instead change worlds or reset it.
