Normally, when simply deactivating plug-ins, no settings that you have made in them should be lost. Of course, this is the decision of the developer of the respective plugin, which is why it cannot be ruled out that settings will be removed.
By the way, it is unfavourable to use several caching plug-ins at the same time. Their functionality overlaps, which can lead to errors. Even if you are only testing them, this is not a good idea.
Of course, you can deactivate several plug-ins at the same time. To do so, use the checkmarks in the plugin list and the action field above. If this removes a dependency, the plugin in question will certainly let you know. However, this is also the task of the plugin developer, not of WordPress.
If you are unsure at any point, create a backup of your project beforehand.

hi,
OK,
I was just using it for testing.
I thought there was a way to go through the dependencies that the plugin installs.
Plugins often create fields in tables and do not delete after plugin uninstall.
Thanks.
Yes, that is unfortunately a bad habit of many plug-ins. When deleting a plugin, you have to undo all your customisations, I think it says so in the plugin manual for developers. But when you deactivate them, they (usually) remain – note the difference.
