# Cancel an import

Administrators only. An import that has not started is closed at once and its file deleted. One that is running is asked to stop (`cancelRequested`) and does so within a few rows, leaving what it has already written: a later import of the same file finishes the rest without duplicating anything. One that has finished is a 409 `already_finished`. The action is recorded on the security log.
