# Cancel job

`POST /jobs-api/v3/projects/{projectId}/jobs/{translationJobUid}/cancel`

This cancels a job. All content within the job will be removed from the job and the content will be unauthorized.

If a job is successfully cancelled, a `200` response status will be returned. When the system can't quickly cancel the job, a `202` response is returned. The response contains a link to check the progress of the request. When a `202` is received, the process of canceling and removing the content from the job will not be complete until the returned process has completed.
