Cancelling A Sweep Delete

Cancels a running sweep delete operation.

The GET method will return a JSON object showing the status of a delete operation. Each data type is listed with an attribute cancelling set to the string "true", and additional type-specific attributes indicating the current data being operated on. If no operation is in progress, the running attribute for each data type will be set to the string "false".

Cancelling a sweep delete operation does not restore any data that was already deleted. It merely stops wherever it was at the time the cancel request was received. If the sweep delete was performed by mistake and you wish to recover the data, you will need to reconstitute the node.
