Is it possible to convert layers in Photoshop?
According to this Stack Exchange thread, it’s not possible. You either have to convert all the layer effects or none at all.

Then you can work with the primary layer effects while also having separate layer effects on their own.
What happens when you separate layers in Photoshop?
Basically once you convert layer effects into separate layers, they behave like their own bitmap images. So you can’t re-combine the shape ever again(the change is permanent). If you make a duplicate copy and hide the dupe layer, it won’t show up in the document but will still be accessible at any point.
