Deleting messages from iCloud

If I do this:

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Tap Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap iCloud.
  3. Tap Manage Storage.
  4. Tap Messages, then tap Disable & Delete. 


will it delete my messages on my device, or only delete them on the cloud. I want to keep my messages, I’m simply trying to get rid of the pestering messages on how I need to subscribe to more storage space (which is nonsense).

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

It will delete your messages. If you wish to keep all of your messages along with the accompanying photos/videos contained within them, and you're being told that you're out of storage, you will have to consider upgrading your iCloud storage.
