XF 1.2 How do I cancel the installation of an addon/deferred process?

[Stuart Wright]

Tried to install an addon and got this:
Request Timeout
This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server. If it should not be timed out, please contact administrator of this web site to increase 'Connection Timeout'.

Is it possible to cancel a deferred process?

Just delete the record from the xf_deferred table. Normally if there no pending deferred processes, you would only have the entry in there for cron.
