Description
Is there a proper way to delete workunits on the server that have been created? Until now I have been deleting workunits from the mySQL database and removing files in the project's download folder. While this makes the workunit stop being sent out, it causes errors and I am sure is not the proper way to do this.
Scenario: I was running "sample_work_generator" with the "uppercase" app and added a new workunit with an executable I had created and ran the "make_work" function for it. This executable was causing problems and I need it to stop being sent out, but I don't want to stop other work from being sent out. With "feeder", "transitioner", and "file_deleter" being the only daemons running, workunits of the faulty executable continue to be sent out because I have not successfully removed the workunits for it.

There is a "cancel work" page in the ops website. See HtmlOps.
