DNS disabled for my domain, but after 72 hours, they still point to Cloudflare's nameservers.
As per the title, I have removed my domain from Cloudflare's DNS settings, but they continue to be operational. I am unable to migrate my domain from the registrar to another hosting provider due to the active Cloudflare DNS.

That doesn't really make sense. What are you trying to do? Transfer domain registration to a different place, or change the nameservers to something else?
The domain name would be helpful as well.
To use a different host in most cases you'd just need to change A/AAAA/CNAME records in your DNS.
I added my domain to Cloudflare to use their free CDN service. After two days, I decided to remove it and deleted it from my account dashboard. Today, about three days later, my domain still points to Cloudflare's servers. It's crucial to note that Cloudflare is not my registrar; I used it solely for the CDN service, which remains active even though I've permanently disabled it. I need to completely remove the pointers. My domain is downunow.it
Thank you in advice, Chaika

As Cloudflare isn't your registrar, you need to go to your registrar, who appears to be register.it, and modify the nameservers there. They're still pointing to Cloudflare
I'm trying to contact register.it support because, from my control panel, in the DNS section, Cloudflare's nameservers are not listed, but others are. However, I'm reaching out to support, and I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your help.
It could just be slow to update, but yea Cloudflare isn't your registrar so they don't control where your domain is pointed.
You can see in the whois for your domain the nameservers set, there's various online utilities for it, ex:

Nameservers sureena.ns.cloudflare.com porter.ns.cloudflare.comadditionally Cloudflare DNS is properly disabled and everything, it refuses queries for your domain

The DNS system of my registrar was blocked, and there were multiple overlapping requests, including from Cloudflare. Despite not having the slightest idea of how this could have happened, I've submitted a support ticket to address the blockage. Thank you for your assistance; as soon as everything is unlocked, I will redirect my domain to another hosting, and from that hosting, I will point back to your CDN!
Greetings.
