Turn off FileVault encryption on Mac
When you turn off FileVault, encryption is turned off and the contents of your Mac are decrypted. The decrypting could take a while, depending on how much information you have stored. However, you can still use your Mac to do other tasks while the information is being decrypted.
Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Privacy & Security in the sidebar, then go to FileVault. (You may need to scroll down.)
Click Turn Off.
Click Turn Off Encryption.
