# Cancel

> Request teardown. Confirm the machine is gone.

```bash theme={null}
compute cancel <run_id>
compute machines
```

Cancel asks the control plane to stop the run and terminate the machine. `compute machines` should be empty after teardown.

Teardown is part of the product. If a run is still listed as active and `machines` is not empty, keep the run id and [contact support](/support).

You can also inspect:

```bash theme={null}
compute runs status <run_id>
compute runs receipt <run_id>
```

Receipts include started minutes even when you cancel after the machine started.
