Note: You will need to repeat this step for every account listed as "Active" or "Activating" in order to start the unstaking process.

Step 6: Wait 2-4 days

The stake needs to be withdrawn from validators and there is a unstaking protocol implemented by Solana that lasts from 2-4 days. This applies for any staking method (read more here). You can check in Phantom to see the stake status. Once "inactive", it can be withdrawn.

Step 7: Withdraw SOL

Once your stake is listed as "Inactive", it is free to be withdrawn.

Click on the stake account and select Withdraw Stake. After that, the stake should be converted into SOL in your account.
