# Cancel a run in HealthOmics
<a name="canceling-runs"></a>

You can cancel a run if its status is `PENDING`, `STARTING`, `RUNNING`, or `STOPPING`. 

**Note**  
When you cancel a run, HealthOmics doesn't save any of the run outputs.

From the console, follow these steps to cancel a run: 

1. Open the [HealthOmics console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/omics/).

1.  If required, open the left navigation pane (≡). Choose **Runs**.

1. On the **Runs** page, choose the run to cancel.

1. The console opens the **Run details** page. From the status banner at the top of the page, choose **Stop run**.

1. Enter **confirm** to stop the run.

To cancel a run using the API, use the **CancelRun** API operation. 

The following example shows how to cancel a run using the AWS CLI . To run the example, replace the `{{run id}}` with the ID of the run you would like to cancel. If successful, there is no response. 

```
aws omics cancel-run --id {{run id}} 
```
