If you remove a FireCluster from WatchGuard Cloud, the FireCluster is removed from your account completely and you cannot access the data.
You can keep the FireCluster in WatchGuard and remove the FireCluster from cloud management. If you select this option, you must locally manage the FireCluster with Fireware Web UI, WatchGuard System Manager, or the CLI. However, you can continue to monitor the FireCluster in WatchGuard Cloud. For information about removing a FireCluster from cloud management, go to Change the FireCluster Management Type.
