If you're de-arrested you're not locked in a cell (custody). If you're released after questioning it's being de-arrested. If you're held in a cell during any of it you can't be de-arrested, you have to be "released without charge".

"de-arrested" is not technically the same as "released without charge". The key difference in terminology is whether the person is taken into custody and processed, says a spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo).

TLDR:

Arrest - copper has you.
De-arrest - Copper lets go.
Released without charge - Released from police custody cell (jail) after an arrest.
