# How do I stop a scheduled transfer from running again?

Remove the **original** entry for that transfer — the first one you created, which holds the schedule. Select it in Data Transfers and click **Remove** (it appears once that entry has finished, failed or been cancelled; cancel it first if it's still running).

Removing one of the later scheduled runs only removes that run from the history; the schedule carries on.

Note that **Clear completed** also removes finished entries, including a schedule's original entry, so it stops those schedules too. If you want to keep a schedule, remove individual old runs instead.
