# Cancel a pending upload (transitions to expired, deletes the underlying object)

`DELETE /agents/files/{fileId}/pending`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mobilerun.ai`
- URL: `https://api.mobilerun.ai/agents/files/{fileId}/pending`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Soft-cancels an in-flight upload before confirm. Only acts on `pending` uploads — refuses to touch `ready` files, so confirmed files are never removed. Idempotent: `{ cancelled: false }` if the file exists but is no longer pending.

## Path parameters

- `fileId` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Cancel result

- object
  - `cancelled` boolean, required

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized
- `404`: Not Found
- `500`: Internal Server Error
