Any Terminal Command to Cancel FileVault Encryption?

[Alvin777]

Hello Apple friends.

In the heat of the moment, at work (while there's discussion perhaps), I accidentally turned On FileVault encryption which is slowing things down and those who need to access my public files (Sharing thing) can't easily access my drive (Public folders) but I was actually trying to turn on Firewall after being done with a networking test.

Is there a Terminal command to safely cancel this encryption which according to it will take day 2 days to finish, sometimes even 146 days (it seems to dynamically calculate when it'll finish) or a 3rd party app that can safely cancel FileVault encryption.

Thank you, have a fun and very blessed weekend.

I don’t think you can, but you can try with

sudo fdesetup disable

It's done now, I'll just turn if Off again.

Thanks.
