If you want to remove all photos, documents, data or disable iCloud library for your account.  Proceed like follow:

On iOS10:
Go to Settings > [your_name] > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage from there you can disable, delete everything you want. 

For iCloud Photo library, you'll have 30 days to download everything stored there.
