I booked a 7 day eurail pass and then made train reservations. I realised I don't need a 7 day pass. A 5 day pass is sufficient. Can I cancel the 7 day pass and book a new 5 day pass? Will be reservations still be valid?

Yes. Most reservations don’t show your pass number. So you will be fine.
The only company that does show it is SJ (Sweden), afaik. Maybe someone can confirm.
But even then, the conductor will probably not care as long as your name is on both the reservation and the IR pass.

SJ didn't mention pass numbers 3 years ago, but they could have changed that of course.
Renfe also mentions pass numbers on the reservations but nobody cares. They just scan the barcode.

Not if you bought them through the Interrail reservation service.

Interesting - and they're issued by the Renfe system?
I got mine last year from International Rail (they're also a Renfe agent) and they did mention the pass number.

SJ now mention the passnumber on the reservation, at least if you buy the reservation through SJ.

Yes. Also when booked through Happyrail the pass number does not appear, and thosr reservations are also issued from the Renfe system. Even if they do, explaining to train staff that you have switched passes should be more than sufficient and if anything refer to the Eurail exchange policy.
