There's no way of canceling foregroung operations, e.g. importing vms from compute resource. Given this is not possible today through API/CLI either, this would be an RFE. It was raised that API/CLI supports ctrl+c to interrupt the operation. However ctrl+c in API/CLI is basically an equivalent of closing the browswer tab. It does not cancel the request on the server and the operation will continue executing, the response is just not displayed to anyone. Cancelling would be doable once we make import/export a background task. I'm closing for now, we can reopen if that gets implemented.
