# Cancel media asset analysis

Available in VPC

Cancel pending or in-progress media asset analysis. All intermediate deliverables will be deleted upon cancellation.

              Note

              

- You can only cancel while the task is in the pending (`WAIT_ANALYZE`) or in progress (`ANALYZING`) status. A `409` error is returned for requests made under any other conditions.
- To cancel an ongoing analysis job, use the `cancel` endpoint (`/index/cancel`) and to delete a completed index, use [Delete index](/docs/en/mi-delete-index).
