Welcome aboard! Best way to "undo" it would be to move your files out of the password-protected disk image. Because it's a disk image and treated as external storage, the files will get copied when you move them to another folder on your computer. Once that's done you can delete the disk image if you don't need it anymore.
Actually, there is an easy way in Finder, but using Finder to encrypt a folder automatically makes it APFS Your way is interesting. I see you used APFS. I will try it with other formats on a thumb drive, as I need to share with a PC, and Windoze cannot read APFS. Thanks, will give it a go.
You bring up a good point about Windows compatibility. I'm using APFS because that's all I need but this workflow can also be used to create an ExFAT image, which will work on both Windows and Mac.
