This wiki page provides a detailed guide on how to turn off iCloud Music Library on your iPhone, iPad, or computer. iCloud Music Library is exclusive to Apple Music subscribers, and disabling this feature will remove all downloaded Apple Music tracks from your current device (e.g., your iPhone).
Steps
On iPhone
Scroll down and tap Music. You'll find this option near the middle of the Settings page.

Tap OK when prompted. This action confirms your decision and disables the iCloud Music Library. Apple Music will be removed from your iPhone; you can re-download it anytime by re-enabling the iCloud Music Library.
