×Hi there @jeet16,
As stated in the official documentation on how to downsize a Droplet, for data integrity reasons, DigitalOcean doesn’t provide the ability to downsize a Droplet through the control panel, but you can still switch to a smaller Droplet using common migration strategies.
I would recommend considering one of the migration strategies mentioned in the documentation.

Hello,
We do not have the ability to resize servers that have been created or resized to a bigger disk, since we are unable to shrink the disk allocation.
There is no safe way to shrink a Droplet’s disk partitions, and this is a risky procedure to undertake on any Linux system. However, we do have a great step-by-step tutorial that explains how you can effectively transfer your data to a new, smaller droplet:

If you would like a more thorough guide on transferring your data, we have a great tutorial series here:
