    5. Disabling your services will not affect your HUAWEI ID. You can continue using it to access other Huawei websites, applications, or services. If you do not need your HUAWEI ID, you can delete it at Huawei Account Center (id.cloud.huawei.com).

The consequences of disabling your services include but are not limited to the following:
