Cancel or delete a data mining run

At any point before a data mining run has completed, you can cancel the run. A canceled run remains on the Data Mining Runs page and can be re-run as is or with modifications. For example, suppose there are several runs in the queue. You need the one that was most recently submitted to run first. You can cancel all runs except the most recently submitted one. Later, you can re-run the canceled runs.

When a run has completed, the run status becomes either Complete or Error Occurred, and you can delete the run. You can also delete a run that has been canceled (the run status is Canceled). Data mining runs can take up a significant amount of server space. Deleting runs that are no longer needed frees up this space for other processes.

Note: To learn more about the error that caused a run to fail, review the information on the Jobs for Run page.
