<a name="cancel-attachment-upload"></a>

You can cancel a file upload while it is in progress.

**To cancel an upload**

1. While a file is uploading, the **Status** column shows a progress bar and the **Action** column shows **Cancel**.

1. Choose **Cancel** in the **Action** column.

1. The upload is aborted and the file status changes to **Failed to upload**. You can then retry or remove the file.

**Note**  
Any partially uploaded data is automatically cleaned up. No additional action is required.
