Hi everyone, 

Initially I joined the beta program and began to download the one UI 8.5 beta for the fold 7. I decided to withdraw from the program. The software began to download , but I paused it due to the fact I am not in the program anymore. Is there a way to cancel this software download as I am no longer in the program.

Unfortunately, you can't cancel the download. Your only option is to install it and roll back if you no longer wish to participate in the beta. This will involve a factory reset, so back up everything before you roll back.

Be aware a rollback will entail a factory RESET!

I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about, but you have posted what appears to be an irrelevant statement in someone else's thread in the foldable phone forum.

Since I had no other option I when ahead and downloaded the beta software. So when the official software comes out for the 8.5. Can I just go ahead a upgrade to the official or do I have to factory reset then upgrade?

You should be able to use the beta software that you have installed until the official One UI 8.5 release. However, since you have officially dropped out of the beta, you likely won't be receiving any possible updates to the version you currently have installed. Since you've decided to keep using the beta software, you might as well rejoin the beta.

Yea I rejoined since the software already started to download. My phone updated to the 8.5 and So far so good.
Just want to make sure when the official comes out that I don't have time factory reset to upgrade to the official 8.5
